The puzzle surrounding the appointment of 50 Chief Administrative Secretaries by president William Ruto is yet to be solved. This is after LSK obtained a court order barring the officers from beginning their duties or receiving salaries.
A new development has emerged after the Kenya Judiciary distanced itself with the swearing in ceremony that occurred at State House on Thursday.
This is after the institution revealed that it did not any of their officers at the swearing in ceremony, arguing that the Judiciary had no role to play in the event.
The Judiciary clarifies that it had no role to play in the swearing in of 50 CASs at State House; We sent no official at State House as the Judiciary does not play any role in swearing in of CASs and PSs,” noted a statement released by the third arm of government.
It also castigated National Coordinator of the Institute for Social Accountability Diana Gichengo, indicating that she misled the public by insinuating that Judiciary oversaw the function on Thursday, March 23, at State House, Nairobi.
“The statement is grossly misleading and deliberately meant to discredit the Judiciary,” Gichengo was castigated.
Moreover, judiciary, which is headed by Chief Justice Martha Koome, assured Kenyans it is committed to protecting the rule of law.
This development comes just a few days after National Assembly speaker, Moses Wetangula, declined to vet the CASs arguing that there is no law allowing the assembly to do so.
