[kictanet] Poghisio Flouting The Law in The CCK Tussle-by DMakali

[Solomon Mburu Kamau]

There is more than meets the eyes. The Minister, in my view, didn't
flout any law. He just acted as is required by the same law.
David Makali might give some wrong interpretation of the law simply
because Poghisio didn't just wake up, and from oblivion, revoked the
suspension of DG.
This is a matter that requires sobriety since CCK is set to undergo
through some major reforms.

Let's wait for the constitutional interpretation, lest we go sub-judice.
