The Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) Managing Director Catherine Mturi-Wairi has been sent on compulsory leave over the inefficiency and cargo delays at the Port of Mombasa, less than two years after she was confirmed on the job.
The decision to send her packing was made earlier on Wednesday after a special board meeting chaired by Mr Michael Maina and attended by Transport PS Paul Maringa. Mr Maina is a member of the Board and had to step in as the substantive chairman Marsden Madoka is away in the US.
