Friday, October 14, 2022 –New President William Ruto has, for the first time, since taking charge, gone against the judiciary.
President Ruto who is hell-bent on rewarding loyalist just like his predecessor Uhuru Kenyatta, is also emulating the same by creating the unconstitutional CAS position into his administration.
This is despite the court order barring him from making such appointments which the court has described as unlawful.
So far the Public Service Commission PSC has maintained that the positions are still available and interviews will be conducted as planned.
“Contrary to the public speculation, the commission has not cancelled the advert for the recruitment of Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS),” PSC chief executive officer, Mr. Simon Rotich mentioned.
Defending this move further, Rotich, insisted that the exercise went through all the required stages including the mandatory public participation exercise that closed on October 6, 2022.
He, therefore, maintained that the law suit filed by the Law Society of Kenya LSK cannot stop such a noble exercise from going on.
PSC now claims that the suit which is attempting to change their arrangements did not meet the required threshold.
