Thanks Loise for sharing the legal notice. 

@ Yawe you are right. That is the nature of the notice. You do not need to be subjected to public scrutiny:) (On a light note, it is a pity since I would be interested to know your inside manenos).

@ Brian, Walu, and Alice

I have just skimmed through the notice and in matters of the ICT Authority appointments (both board and first CEO) it actually gives the CS carte blanche. There may not be a row after all!  Maybe some mischief at the drafting process of the notice which ensured that it ignored article 10 of the constitution which  lays emphasis on consulting in policy making processes. @ Kapiyo, @ Grace Bomu, what are your comments?

Hi,

There goes my opportunity to be appointed without having to jump through hoops that require me to answer questions from my questionable past.

A row is simmering in the Ministry of Information, Communication and Technology over a law that gives the Cabinet secretary power to make unilateral appointment.

Executive Order No. 2 of 2013 by President Uhuru Kenyatta on the reorganisation of government that establishes the Information and Communications Technology Authority ( ICTA) gives the ICT Cabinet Secretary power to appoint the CEO of the authority without involving the board.
