“The authority, of which you are the MD is a mess. Our reputation is laughable and the city of Mombasa, the county, our country, the region and more widely the shipping stakeholders across the world are shamed by us,” he added.
Service delivery
He says as an independent appointed member of the board where he has served for 16 months, he has been unable to deliver because of the constant fights over allegations of corruption at the port.
He says Manduku should carry his own cross if the allegations of corruption levelled against him are true.
The official says he will not hesitate to spill the beans when he appears before the investigation team.
