STATE firm National Oil Corporation has sent its CEO Sumayya Athmani on compulsory leave and appointed the general manager in charge of downstream operations, MaryJane Mwangi to takeover in acting capacity.
Observers have pointed out that the new Cabinet Secretary in charge of Energy Hon Charles Keter is slowly and surely effecting changes in his ministry to fit Jubilee tribal arithmetic. The move to sack Athmani seem to have negative effects on the ruling Jubilee coalition since she comes from Malindi.
Kilifi residents have condemned the sacking terming it a tribal move that continues to marginalise the Mijikenda community and have vowed to teach Jubilee a brief lesson in the upcoming Malindi Parliamentary by-election.
Sumayya Hassan-Athmani comes from Kilifi County where one Gideon Mung’aro cones from. Gideon is Jubilee point man in Kilifi and Coast. He has not questioned why his benefactor is replacing a very hardworking lady and who has turned around the state owned National Oil Corporation with a lady from elsewhere a MaryJane Mwangi. – An ODM supporter noted
Other than Athmani, Keter also fired Kenya Pipeline boss Flora Okoth and replaced her with general manager Joel Sang.
Okoth had been acting MD since July 2015 after the suspension of Charles Tonui.
