Court quashes Uhuru s 129 State jobs appointments
Thursday May 27 2021
By JOSEPH WANGUI
The High Court has quashed the government’s appointment of 129 heads of State corporations and board members.
In a verdict delivered by a three-judge bench, the court said the appointments made by President Uhuru Kenyatta and Cabinet secretaries in 2018 are invalid and unconstitutional.
Justices Jessie Lesit, Chacha Mwita and Lucy Njuguna said the appointments were illegal as they lacked transparency and competitiveness.
The judges added that the appointments were contrary to Article 232 of the Constitution on the values and principles of public service.
The court added that the Attorney-General failed to demonstrate that there was fair competition and merit as the basis of the appointments.
