The future of Kenya Fisheries Service (KeFS) Director General Daniel Mungai remains uncertain as conflicting advice from the ministry halts the renewal of his contract, set to expire on October 5, 2024.

• Mungai formally requested a four-year contract extension six months prior to his term's end.
• His renewal was backed by the KeFS Board and Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi, but later advice retracted this support.
• Despite the board's initial agreement, the newly appointed Cabinet Secretary Hassan Joho has advised the position be advertised instead.
