Murugi, Galgalo land agency jobs nullifiedThe High Court has nullified the appointment of former MPs Tiya Galgalo (pictured) and Esther Murugi as members of the lands agency. And today, Justice Hellen Wasilwa ruled the selection panel chaired by former Nyeri Woman Representative Pricilla Nyokabi irregularly recommended their appointment to the President. Lady justice Wasilwa, however, allowed the nomination and appointment of lawyer Gershom Otachi as chairman even after she found that selection panel was not legally constituted. The two claimed the selection panel was not competently constituted as it omitted representatives from other sectors such as civil society. Justice Wasilwa declared that although the panel was incomplete, she could not fault the nomination and eventual appointment of the seven.
