Kenya Railways has begun the search for a new Managing Director following the suspension of Atanas Maina in August last year over corruption charges.
In an advertisement made in the newspapers, the corporation expressed their search for a dynamic and experienced strategist with at least 15 years of relevant experience in public service or in a large and reputable private sector organization.
The candidate should also have a bachelors and a master’s degree in any of the fields which include engineering, business administration, marketing or strategic management among others.
Mr Atanas was on 12th August 2018 arrested together with national Land Commission Mohammed Swazuri over corruption allegations on the compensation of the Standard Gauge Railway.
According to the director of public prosecutions, taxpayers’ money was lost in fraudulent compensation for five pieces of public land the government acquired to build the railway.
According to Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee, the Lands Commission failed to provide accurate details of acreage, plot numbers, and valuation information 12 months after the compensation was paid out.
