The eyes are on Head of Public Service Felix Koskei after he extended the term of a Managing Director of a state agency over what he terms as exemplary performance.
This was in contrary to his own earlier memo that warned against the move.
Insiders termed the move ironical and sought to establish the motivation.
“We don’t know why. It’s simply ironical,” said an insider aware of the developments.
Koskei overturned a decision by Principal Secretary, state department for ASALs and Regional Development to decline a request for extension and instead directing the board to identify three suitable candidates for appointment as Acting MD.
The Head of Public Service who is also the Chief of Staff contradicted his own circular issued three months earlier in making the irregular appointment.
The appointment now violates the Cabinet resolution and the law including the Public Service Policy popularly known as Mwongozo that outlaws any extension of tenure of a Chief Executive who has served two terms.
Koskei claimed Ewaso Ng’iro North Development Authority (ENNDA) board had resolved to extend Eng. Ali Ibrahim Hassan’s contract for one more year as his two-term contract expires on October 1, 2025.
