Essentially, Bobby (Yawe), Omutatah, Steve Mutoro et al. can go to court and claim they were denied an opportunity to be the CEO because the board did not advertise and go through the motions of shortlisting and interviewing..read "discrimination".<br></span></font></div><div style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:16px;font-family:Calibri;background-color:transparent;font-style:normal;"><br><font face="Calibri" size="3"><span style="line-height:22px;"></span></font></div><div style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:16px;font-family:Calibri;background-color:transparent;font-style:normal;"><font face="Calibri" size="3"><span style="line-height:22px;">Not sure why that exemption was sought since in my opinion it is not necessary given that as a Cabinet Secretary I can still get my "man" or "woman" as CEO - even if I have to use the board. It is usually done by simply appointing the correct board in place...perhaps someone did not brief the new CS how this game is best played in government with minimum collateral damage :-)<br></span></font></div><div style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:16px;font-family:Calibri;background-color:transparent;font-style:normal;"><br><font face="Calibri" size="3"><span style="line-height:22px;"></span></font></div><div style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:16px;font-family:Calibri;background-color:transparent;font-style:normal;"><font face="Calibri" size="3"><span style="line-height:22px;">walu.<br></span></font></div><div><br></div> <div style="font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt;"> <div style="font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt;"> <div dir="ltr"> <hr size="1"> <font face="Arial" size="2"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> Grace Githaiga <ggithaiga@hotmail.com><br> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">To:</span></b> jwalu@yahoo.com <br><b><span style="font-weight:bold;">Cc:</span></b> "kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke" <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> <br> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">Sent:</span></b> Tuesday, September 3, 2013 12:13 PM<br> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">Subject:</span></b> Re: [kictanet] Row simmers over order on new Information, Communication and Technology leadership<br>
