Kenya Ports Authority [KPA] board chairman Gen (Rtd) Joseph Kibwana and KPA General Manager in charge of operation  William Ruto were sent away by parliamentary committee  for labour after failing to convince it over its 30 percent tender awarding for youths and persons with disabilities.

They had appeared before the committee chaired by Ali Wairo and Vice Chairperson Joyce Korir Chepkoech to shed light on over the 30 per cent constitutional requirement for youths and person with disability.

They were accompanied by KPA acting Procurement Manager Aza Dzengo at the Tamarind Hotel in Mombasa during an interrogation which did not even last 30 minutes.

The committee was never convinced with the procurement document presented to them and decided to shelve the meeting to another day.

The committee chair directed KPA Managing Director Daniel Manduku to appear in person instead of sending a presentation to the committee.

The KPA team was unable to prove crucial documents relating to tender awarding at the authority as per committee demands before the angry committee members adjourned the session.

Earlier in the day National Social Security Fund [NSSF] board of trustee member Mark J. Obuya was given a go ahead to organize a one day workshop to discuss perennial issues pending at the organization.

This was after the committee was furnished with various procurement and tender documents issued at the company helm.

The committee will have a session with the National Youths Service [NYS] tomorrow at 9 am (Thursday) over the stalled bus transport project which was meant for the urban centres.
