The appointment of Dr Macharia Irungu as the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) Managing Director has not augured well with Narok Senator Ledama Ole Kina.
The Narok Senator has said that the appointment is not only tribal but also biased. He argued that time has come for leaders and employers to embrace the spirit of inclusivity in their appointment. He lamented that there is no way Kenya will attain the Big Four agenda if appointments are made along tribal lines.
“Kenya is not for one tribe, we must learn to share the little we have or else it will never be business as usual,” said Ole Kina.
He has now vowed to seek legal redress over the matter after the appointment of Irungu.
"We will proceed to court to challenge this tribalism," he warned.
The senator has described the current regime as the worst in the history of Kenya.
He reiterated that cases of skewed appointments in government parastatals have been part of the current leadership.
"Even before a sheep empty its urine, tribalism continues in Kenya!! This is the worst form of Government in the history of Kenya."
Ledama noted that the appointment was flawed because it did take into account the spirit of unity after the handshake between President Uhuru Kenyatta and Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Raila Amolo Odinga.
Mining and Petroleum Cabinet Secretary John Munyes on Friday confirmed the appointment of Irungu for the new post. He is set to replace acting MD Hudson Andambi.
