Thanks for sharing. This is an interesting case and probably should have happened earlier. The manner in which Independent Authorities like the CA behave and are treated by the government will determine how the sector performs as regulation is a key component of how they deliver on their mandate.

The CA is such an important cog in our sector that any improprieties n how the very board is constituted doesn't auger very well for it. Tough as the decision may seem I believe it's the right one.

The CS and the AG must be congratulated for taking the hard but correct road.

The Communications Authority board was on Friday disbanded following Attorney General Githu Muigai's advice to withdraw an appeal challenging the High Court orders sending the team home.

ICT Cabinet Secretary Joe Mucheru said the seven-member board ceased to be in office from Friday, and a process to establish a new team would start immediately.
