Narok Senator Ledama Ole Kina has taken a swipe at President William Ruto's administration following the recent cabinet approval to privatise the Kenya Pipeline company (KPC).

Taking to social media on Thursday, July 31, Ledama, who is a member of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), claimed that the government should reconsider the move, given the economic significance of the company.

According to Ledama, scrapping government oversight on the company would also make it susceptible to technology threats, such as cybersecurity,  and accountability risks, which will in turn compromise the security of the infrastructure and the country at large.

Instead of the government privatising the company, the lawmaker claims that it should focus more on how it can elevate its infrastructural capacity, just like other establishments that are considered vital national assets.
