Ousted Kenya Ports Authority KPA Managing Director Catherine Mturi Wairi faced a hostile board of directors who ordered her to resign on Wednesday night.

Yesterday, she did not even turn up to hand over to her successor, Daniel Manduku even as the board sat to receive him amid fears of a new wave of sackings.
