Am I the only one who thinks that yesterday's court ruling is landmark for our country and the rule of law. Another nail in the coffin of impunity!! People this is BIG. Anybody can challenge anything. So our government has to walk the straight and narrow!! How many other such irregular appointments are made by government? Just yesterday, the Honorable PM's OFFICE was quoted as ordering the board of Lake Victoria water Services to reinstate the CEO. He has also directed the PS to reconstitute the board. A board is appointed for a specific tenure. Has their term ended. If not, will such reconstituting be legal? Is the board obliged to follow a Prime Ministerial directive for what is a designated board function? What recourse does the PM's office have if the board ignore his directive? Take the Koskey case. The minister disregarded a decision by the board and went ahead to appoint someone else. Going forward, political and government leaders will have to learn how to influence rather than decree. In the meantime, being a Minister is not all it's cracked up to be. You can't even appoint an MD!! . _______________________________________________ kictanet mailing list kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke http://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/listinfo/kictanet Unsubscribe or change your options at http://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/options/kictanet/lusiola%40gmail.com The Kenya ICT Action Network (KICTANet) is a multi-stakeholder platform for people and institutions interested and involved in ICT policy and regulation.
