There is more than meets the eyes. The Minister, in my view, didn't flout any law. He just acted as is required by the same law. David Makali might give some wrong interpretation of the law simply because Poghisio didn't just wake up, and from oblivion, revoked the suspension of DG. This is a matter that requires sobriety since CCK is set to undergo through some major reforms. Let's wait for the constitutional interpretation, lest we go sub-judice.

It seems this saga refuses to die... ~~~ The Star Tuesday, 19 April 2011 00:04 BY DAVID MAKALI
A little over a week ago, Information and Communications minister Samuel Poghisio called a press conference to announce that he had revoked the suspension of the director general of the Communications Commission of Kenya.“For the avoidance of doubt, I wish to state that Charles Njoroge remains in office and that as the appointing authority I will proceed to renew his contract in line with the law,” he stated.
The minister’s intervention may have seemed timely and proper. Given the infighting that had become the order of the day at the CCK between the board of directors (or some) and the director-general, some form of external intervention was necessary to establish order.
However, questions still linger over what exactly the minister did, if it was legal, and if it is in the interest of the general telecommunications sector and the public in general. At the time of this writing, his re-appointment or otherwise had not been gazetted.
