Transport CS Macharia on the receiving end over Kenya Ports Authority Reshuffles

The recent reshuffles at Kenya Ports Authority have raised  questions on  the credibility of transport CS Macharia.

Among the questions raised is which criteria did the CS use to do the reshuffle? Was it academic or experience?

In parastatals, General managers and Human resource managers are mandated to do such reshuffles ie promoting, demoting and Transfer's, so it was out of self interest that Macharia took charge of the reshuffle process without consultation.

Macharia should come clean and explain the reason as to why he elevated Rashid Salim a junior person to a position General Manager Engineering Services who doesn't meet the requirements since he is not a qualified engineer to start with leaving his seniors who are qualified engineers in the same position. He is a diploma holder and and a qualified graduate engineer must be a degree holder, could he have presented fake documents? Or the CS is aware of this and he elevated him so as to serve some interest??

If it was on merit, can Rashid Salim produce a valid practice license?

 "Promoting unqualified junior leaving their seniors is such a demoralizing act, a staff at the ports who claimed anonymity lamented.

.

We understand the CS did this in favour of his cartels at the port, since this cartels he has elevated are the biggest suppliers.

Parastatal jobs are advertised and position filled competitively, what was the essence of advertising the position of GM engineering Services in local dailies while CS was to reward his own cronies??

Last year Transport and Infrastructure Cabinet Secretary James Macharia was on the spot for alleged corruption cover up involving Sh442,000 by the director of Aircraft Accident Investigation Department (AAID) Captain Martyne Lunani at a time the government was grappling to fight the vice.

CS Macharia should be impeached as soon as possible before he mess up the transport sector.
