The Kenya Petroleum Oil Workers' Union (KPOWU) has requested the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) to halt the ongoing recruitment of a new Managing Director at the Kenya Petroleum Company (KPC).

• KPOWU is questioning the legitimacy of the current KPC board overseeing the recruitment process.
• The union cites recent changes in KPC's shareholding structure following the sale of a significant government stake.
• KPOWU argues that the board should be reconstituted before proceeding with the recruitment to ensure transparency and compliance with corporate governance standards.
