EPRA starts search for new DG after Kiptoo resignation
EPRA has advertised the position, with applicants required to be Kenyan citizens with a Bachelor’s degree from a recognised university and at least seven years’ senior-level experience, including a minimum of two years’ experience in the petroleum and energy sector.
Nairobi, Kenya – The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has initiated the search for a new Director General (DG) in the wake of Daniel Kiptoo's resignation in April. The move came amid investigations into allegations of manipulating national fuel stock data, a controversy that resulted in the resignations of former Petroleum Principal Secretary Mohamed Liban and Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) Managing Director Joe Sang.
EPRA has advertised the position, specifying that applicants must be Kenyan citizens holding a Bachelor's degree from a recognized university and possessing at least seven years of senior-level experience, including a minimum of two years in the petroleum and energy sector. The chosen candidate will assume strategic leadership and direction, overseeing the technical and economic regulation of the energy sector while enhancing internal monitoring and control systems.
EPRA's advertisement, published in local newspapers, states that the appointment will be for a three-year contract, with the possibility of a one-year extension contingent on satisfactory performance. Upon Kiptoo's resignation, Joseph Oketch was appointed as acting Director General, filling the role temporarily until a permanent replacement is found.
