    "content": "The Petition avers that Ms. Tabitha was ineligible for appointment as a member of the Medial Council of Kenya according to Section 16 of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Act as read with Section 2(1) of the Fourth Schedule which stipulates that an employee of the IEBC - and it is good for the Members to listen to this - shall not be eligible for appointment to another public office. That is what the law says. The petitioner contended that Ms. Tabitha Mutemi’s appointment to the Media Council of Kenya was also in violation of circular No. OP/CAB19/1A dated on 18th October 2019 from the executive office of the President which prohibits the appointment of public officers to serve as independent members of boards, unless the enabling law specifically provides for the same. Further, Article 77(1) of the Constitution restricts full-time State officers from participating in any other gainful employment."
