Outgoing Kenya Ports Authority MD Gichiri Ndua will not challenge his dismissal.
Though he had six months left before retirement, Ndua said he does not plan to challenge his sacking.
The state sent him on compulsory leave, alongside five departmental managers.
Speaking to the Star on phone, Ndua said it is a personal decision not to face his former employee in court, as he thinks he did his best in improving services at the port.
Probed further by the Star, he said his dismissal was unfortunate but declined to give details of his firing and that of several top port managers.
“I want to give the relevant bodies involved time to conduct their investigations,” Ndua said.
Interior CS Joseph Nkaiserry, while making the dismissal announcement, said investigations on various departmental managers were ongoing to keep the port a corruption-free zone.
It has emerged that managers who were dismissed are planning to move to the labour and environmental court.
New managers have already been deployed to take over.
