Moscow—Kazakhstan December 22 appointed deputy oil minister Lyazzat Kiinov as the new head of state-run KazMunaiGaz, just days after fatal riots involving striking workers of the company’s subsidiary UzenMunaiGaz. Kiinov replaces Bolat Akchulakov as KazMunaiGaz chairman, who had only been at the helm of Kazakhstan’s biggest company since October.
