Energy and Petroleum Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi has dismissed claims of possible mass job losses following the government's decision to privatise the Kenya Pipeline Company.
Wandayi, while appearing before the National Assembly's Energy Committee on Tuesday, August 12, assured legislators that employee welfare is protected under existing legal frameworks. "We do not foresee any job losses or any restructuring to the current job structures at KPC," said Wandayi.
This is after the lawmakers raised concerns over the fate of KPC employees amid fears that the privatisation could trigger restructuring and possible job losses.
