The award recognises the Authority’s contribution to the shipping, freight and logistics industry, particularly its commitment to collaboration, professionalism and creating a positive impact across the sector and the wider community.
The recognition was announced following the ECSAFOT tournament, which brought together players and stakeholders from the regional shipping and logistics industry.
Speaking on behalf of KPA Chief Executive Officer Captain William Ruto, Dr. Fred O. Oyugi, the Authority’s General Manager for Internal Audit and Risk Assurance, reaffirmed the organisation’s commitment to developing and supporting talent through sports.
