Kenya: GDC seeks new chief executive

Geothermal Development Company (GDC) is looking to appoint a new chief executive, in the wake of charges being brought against chief executive Silas Simiyu, company secretary Paxidis Namioni Saisi, general manager drilling operations Michael Mbevi and six members of the tender committee by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission in November over alleged illegal procurement of services for moving a drilling rig. The successful candidate will serve a three-year term with the option of a single renewal period of similar length.
