EPRA picks insider Edward Mwirigi Kinyua as new Director General
Energy and Petroleum Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi said Kinyua’s appointment followed a competitive recruitment process conducted in accordance with the law and relevant human resource guidelines.
On September 30, Kenya's Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) announced the appointment of Edward Mwirigi Kinyua as the new Director General (DG), replacing Daniel Kiptoo. Kiptoo had recently left his position due to ongoing investigations into alleged manipulation of national fuel stock data, which had caused a false supply crisis and led to emergency fuel procurement in the energy sector.
Kinyua, who had previously been EPRA's Petroleum and Gas Director, will assume the role immediately, following a competitive recruitment process conducted in compliance with the law and relevant human resource guidelines. Kinyua will now oversee EPRA, succeeding Joseph Oketch, who had been serving as Acting DG following Kiptoo's departure.
