"content": "In that letter, there is a direction to Prof. John Lonyangapuo, who is the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Industrialization, directing him that the Government does not wish to renew or extend the tenure of both the chairman and the MD of KEBs. Therefore, writing to communicate the following instructions: That the new members of the board of directors be appointed in respect of KEBS. A new chairman of the board of directors be appointed in respect of KEBS and a new MD for KEBS be appointed through, I do not know, a public process yet there is a clear provision that, first of all, there is no board of directors according to the Standards Act, Cap.496. There is a council established under Section 6. Secondly, it is the Minister who has all the powers to do the process of appointing. The letter is signed by Dr. Mohammed Isahakhia, Permanent Secretary and copied to Amb. Muthaura. The clarification I want to seek from the Minister is: Is it proper that the Office of the Prime Minister can be used to give, first of all, false instructions â there is no board of directors â to be effected by a permanent secretary? Is it proper that an office such as that can be utilized to circumvent the existing law? What action is the Minister going to take against that civil servant who is intimidating a Minister like him who is properly executing his duties?"
