ICT Cabinet Secretary Joe Mucheru who has been summoned to appear in court on Tuesday over for disobeying a court order.
BY SAM ALFAN.
The High Court has summoned ICT Cabinet Secretary Joe Mucheru and Communications Authority of Kenya Director General Mr Francis Wangusi for disobeying a court order.
CS Mucheru and Wangusi are also expected to show cause why they should not be jailed for disobeying the order by the high court.
They are expected to appear in court on Tuesday.
This is following a vicious battle between the CS and the Communication Authority board members said to have been compromised in an alleged corruption syndicate.
The Industrial Court last week reinstated the board members pending the hearing of an appeal against their ouster.
The sacked board members are Mr Wilbert Kipsang Choge Mr Kennedy Monchere, Ms Grace Mwendwa, Mr Levi Obonyo, Ms Helen Kinoti, Ms Beatrice Opee and Mr Peter Munywoki.
Justice Monica Mbaru ordered the two to “personally appear before trial judge Nelson Abuodha with regard to orders that had stopped the recruitment of new board of directors and the subsequent purging of contempt of court.”
The judge also ordered that ousted CA board members be reinstated immediately.
Justice Mbaru additionally directed the officer in charge of Spring Valley Police Station in Nairobi or the police station responsible for the CA “to enforce the order by ensuring that the petitioners are allowed free access to their office as members of the board of directors.”
