The High Court has delivered a significant blow to former Gender CS Aisha Jumwa after quashing her appointment as the Kenya Roads Board chairperson.

🇰🇪 Breaking It Down

Justice Bahati Mwamuye of the High Court ruled on Wednesday, May 20, that Jumwa’s appointment by the government violated the law and public interest.

Accordingly, Justice Mwamuye directed that a fresh appointment be made in accordance with the KRB Act and the law.

"The appointment of Hon. Aishwa Jumwa as a member of the Kenya Roads Board is unconstitutional and unlawful ab initio as it did not comply with Section 7 of the Kenya Roads Boards Act and articles 10,47 and 232 of the Constitution of Kenya 2010,” Mwamuye ruled.
