Joho’s CS Appointment Hits First Roadblock After 2 Weeks in Office

Joho’s CS Appointment Hits First Roadblock After 2 Weeks in Office: The Genesis for Human Rights Commission has accused Joho of gross misconduct, alleging his involvement in economic crimes, drug trafficking, and embezzlement during his tenure as Mombasa governor.

According to Caleb Ngwena, the Executive Director of Genesis for Human Rights Commission, Joho’s appointment to the Mining and Blue Economy docket violates the Constitution.

Ngwena, a resident of Bamburi, Mombasa, argues that Joho is unfit for public office due to his tarnished record

The petitioners faulted National Assembly Committee on Appointments, accusing it of ignoring multiple memorandums that allegedly contained damning evidence against Joho.

The memorandums, which reportedly detailed Joho’s lack of academic qualifications and alleged criminal activities, were allegedly disregarded during his vetting process.

“That the Respondents in clearing the Interested Party suitable for appointment as Cabinet Secretary was done unprocedurally and illegally as the Respondents did not take into consideration the various Memorandas containing evidence of his unsuitability for appointment,” reads the court document in part.
