Hundreds of people appointed as chairpersons and members of boards of State corporations between March and July 2016 were in office illegally, the High Court said on Friday.
Justices Jessie Lesiit, Chacha Mwita and Lucy Njuguna said the appointments were unconstitutional because they were not competitive.
The court, however, declined to shift the mandate of appointing board members of the corporations from the President and Cabinet Secretaries to the Public Service Commission (PSC), as had been argued by Katiba Institute and Africa Centre for Open Governance (Africog) who were the petitioners.
