Former Dock Workers Union (DWU) officials and a section of Mijikenda elders have alleged a plot to tarnish the reputation of Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) Managing Director, William Ruto, to have him removed from office.
Addressing the press in Mombasa County, the former DWU officials and the elders claimed that firms that lost tenders at the port were behind the campaign against Captain Ruto.
Former DWU officials Paul Abisa and Wycliffe Barasa urged those with evidence of corruption at the port to submit it to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC)."We are happy that port performance is at its highest and small-scale supplies and special groups are being awarded tenders and are benefiting from the port unlike in the past.
We are opposed to unnecessary tender wars that are meant to distract KPA management from performing its duties," said Abisa.
