Claims of graft, marine accidents, unlicensed seafarers, and intense rivalry top the in-tray of the newly appointed Kenya Maritime Authority (KMA) Director General (DG) Justus Nyarandi.

Nyarandi will also have to navigate the boardroom wars in the agency that has had high turnover of executives since the 2005 exit of the founding DG Nancy Karigithu.
