Latest, the High Court has announced that it will render its decision regarding the Chief Administrative Secretaries (CASs) tomorrow, Monday, July 3, 2023, at 9 am. This court decision holds significant public interest, prompting the proceedings to be streamed and televised for the nation to witness.
The controversy surrounding the appointment of CASs began on March 23, 2023, when President William Ruto swore in 50 CAS nominees into office. Many Kenyans, however, criticized this move, claiming it was unconstitutional. According to their interpretation, the process lacked proper vetting by Members of Parliament (MPs), and the Speaker of the National Assembly, Moses Wetangula, stated that the National Assembly did not possess the constitutional authority to vet CAS nominees and only 25 were required.
Following the referral of the matter back to the President by the National Assembly, President Ruto went ahead and swore in all 50 gazetted CASs, causing shock and consternation among the citizens.
Now, the High Court has taken up the case and has scheduled the delivery of its decision for tomorrow. This decision is expected to shed light on the legality of the CAS appointments and whether they comply with the constitution.
As the nation awaits this significant ruling, the proceedings will be made accessible to the public through live streaming and televised coverage. Many citizens are eagerly anticipating the court’s decision, as it will have far-reaching implications for the governance and administrative structure of the country.
