The benefits of the integration process include increased efficiency in loading processes due to minimal human interruptions, reduced paperwork, increased transparency, increased customer satisfaction, improved tax compliance in addition to reduced risk of product being lifted without KRA entries.<\/p>\n<p>Implementing such projects are some of the innovative things KPC does to so that it can remain one of the profitable and reputable state-owned enterprise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am proud of this team, your dedication and prowess in handling phase one of this project was exceptionable\u201d said a jovial Dr. Macharia when appreciating the team members during a breakfast meeting at Kenpipe Plaza.<\/p>\n<p>The team was also awarded commendation letters for their work.

This commendation took place in tandem with The Ministry of National Treasury and Planning mentioning Kenya Pipeline as one of the state-owned enterprises that is profitable together with Kenya Airports Authority, KenGen and Kenya Ports Authority.<\/p>\n<p>The ministry highlighted its ongoing efforts towards developing a national strategy to improve the governance and financial oversight, as well as address the debt vulnerabilities of state corporations as outlined in the 2013 Presidential Taskforce Report on Parastatal Reforms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC)\u00a0 paid special recognition to 29 staff members who led the integration of the industry acclaimed 51风流Oil and Gas (SAP&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":142537,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"related_posts":[],"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[7771,177],"tags":[5597761,5598753,5597762,5598755,87,5597759,5597760,1495401],"series":[],"sapn-display":[45149,5598743,5598741,279685],"sapn-type":[4448],"class_list":["post-142534","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-customer","category-industries","tag-cargo","tag-central-africa","tag-customs","tag-east-africa","tag-integration","tag-kenya-pipeline-company","tag-kpc","tag-oil-and-gas","sapn-display-homepage-hero","sapn-display-news-hero","sapn-display-news-spotlight","sapn-display-hero","sapn-type-newsbyte"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) -
