Fast-forward to today (2013) - with the<br>>>> notable development of the new constitution (2010).<br>>>><br>>>> This thing (Constitution 2010) changed so much - even the President
today<br>>>> cannot do stuff his predecessors used to do over a game of golf/beer/etc.<br>>>> And so it would be the case for the Kenya ICT Authority - one cannot just<br>>>> borrow a previous clause and paste it into a new, bigger and different<br>>>> institution. ICT Authority (2013) is miles apart from ICT board (2007)<br>>>> in form, nature, scope and mandate.<br>>>><br>>>> For example, ICT Board(2007) was an institution with an<br>>>> "administratively" limited ministerial scope -that is why other<br>>>> Ministries could afford to ignore them. Today the ICT Authority is an<br>>>> animal with sweeping powers that cut across Ministries and govt agencies.<br>>>> The CEO appointment therefore requires and is indeed given a more<br>>>> rigorous approach in the legal notice.<br>>>><br>>>> What raised the storm is why
the need to exempt the 1st CEO from this<br>>>> rigorous approach? My unsolicited advise would be for the CS to ignore<br>>>> the clause, advertise the job (open it up for everyone) - and still get<br>>>> (his?) the right man/woman for the job. After all, he has or can create<br>>>> the required "magnanimity" (opposite of Tyranny :-) of the numbers in<br>>>> the Board.<br>>>><br>>>> The other route is vulnerable to too much and unnecessary litigation that<br>>>> may cripple the ICT Authority for years before it gets started. E.g<br>>>> Someone can file a suit to determine whether the contentious clause goes<br>>>> against the constitutional provision for non-discrimination. While the<br>>>> suit is being determined ICT Authority will remain crippled/handicapped<br>>>> for years.<br>>>><br>>>>
