By ABIUD OCHIENGMore by this AuthorA three-judge bench of the High Court has temporarily suspended appointment of the new board of the Communications Authority of Kenya. The tenure of the current board, which served for three years from April 29, 2016, expired on Monday. Judges Pauline Nyamweya, Mumbi Ngugi, and Weldon Korir granted the orders following an urgent application by activist Okiya Omtatah. He notes that the move will strip the board of the autonomy required of it under that section of the Constitution. The Council of Governors, Katiba Institute, Law Society of Kenya, Child Welfare Society of Kenya and the CA are interested parties.
