In a public announcement dated May 8, 2026, the company said two directors — Sharon Irungu-Asiyo and Mohamed Birik Mohamed — had ceased serving on the board effective April 22, 2026.

KPC explained that the two had previously served as representatives of the Attorney General and the Principal Secretary in the State Department for Petroleum respectively, in line with provisions governing state corporations after the company had been declared a National Government Entity under Legal Notice No. 33 of 2015.

According to the company, the changes followed the completion of the privatization process confirmed through Gazette Notice No. 5804 issued by the Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Privatization Authority, Jane Rose Omondi, under Section 53 of the Privatization Act, 2025.

The company further noted that Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Economic Planning, John Mbadi Ng’ongo, subsequently issued Legal Notice No. 72 dated April 22, 2026, revoking the declaration of Kenya Pipeline Company as a National Government Entity.

“As a result, Ms. Sharon Irungu-Asiyo and Mr. Mohamed Birik Mohamed ceased to be directors of the company with effect from April 22, 2026,” the notice stated.

The company also announced the exit of Maureen Mwenje from her position as General Manager for Supply Chain with effect from May 6, 2026.

“The Board and management express their gratitude to Ms. Mwenje for her service to the company and wish her success and fulfillment in the next chapter of her career,” KPC said.

The firm assured shareholders, investors and business partners that the management changes would not affect its strategic direction, operational stability or financial standing.

“The Board and management remain fully committed to delivering long-term value to all stakeholders,” the statement added.

The announcement was issued by Flora Okoth, the company’s General Manager for Legal Services and Company Secretary, with the approval of the Capital Markets Authority in line with disclosure regulations governing listed companies.
