Mining CS Joho's case
The High Court will today issue further directions in a case in which a human rights group seeks to have the appointment of Ali Hassan Joho as CS for mining revoked and a fresh process commenced.
Genesis for Human Rights Commission says the committee on appointments disregarded a number of memos allegedly containing evidence of Joho's unsuitability for appointment.
Joho took over from his predecessor Salim Mvurya on August 9 after taking oath of office alongside 18 other Cabinet appointees in a ceremony presided over by President William Ruto.
However, the rights group says Joho ought not to have been cleared as he lacks the requisite academic qualifications to hold the office of cabinet secretary.
Caleb Ngwena the executive director of the group says he alongside other Kenyans submitted memorandums on Joho's unsuitability but the same was not taken into account.
Joho in response to the case has maintained that he is legally in office further denying dealings in drug trafficking.
He has challenged the group to table evidence in court that he deals in drug trafficking.
