Kenya Power’s General Manager of Supply Chain, John Ngeno, is facing accusations from local contractors of refusing to sign off contracts for firms fronted by individuals he perceives to be from “opposition zones.”
The contracts for labour and transport services have been left unsigned for the last two months, causing frustration and anger among the affected contractors.
According to sources close to the situation, Ngeno is accused of using his position of power to play politics, rather than making decisions based on merit and the needs of the company.
This has resulted in a backlog of 34 contracts, causing delays and financial losses for the contractors involved.
They demand that Ngeno be held accountable for his actions and that the contracts be signed immediately.
They argue that the delay is unfair and goes against the principles of equality and fairness in business.
The situation has ignited fervent discussions with some of the affected contractors calling for Ngeno’s removal from his position.
They have also called for a comprehensive investigation into the matter, with the aim of ascertaining the extent of the political bias and its ramifications on the company.
These allegations against Ngeno have raised serious questions about the impartiality and credibility of Kenya Power’s management, and the necessity for reforms to ensure that decisions are made based on merit, rather than political affiliations.
