BY SAM ALFAN.
Nairobi Governor Dr Evans Kidero cannot sack his director for Legal Affairs Mr Karisa Iha, court has said.
The sacking was recommended by the Commission on Administrative Report.
Justice George Odunga said that the recommendation as contained in the report to remove the officer from office has been contested.
He said that any action has to wait for the outcome of the decision.
The judge was told, by Karisa’s lawyer Samuel Ogutu, that the commission published the report on alleged irregular allocation of Eastleigh Market to a private developer in August 2013.
The lawyer said that the commission acted on a complaint from one of the traders to incriminate the county officer.
Mr Ogutu said that by the time the commission was investigating the matter there was a case pending before court, that prohibited the probe and which is pending determination.
The investigations, finding and recommendations against the applicant were irregular, shoddy, marred with errors of the law, illegal malicious and fundamentally unreasonable, the lawyer said.
Karisa is seeking an order to quash the findings and recommendations contained in the report on alleged irregular allocation of the Eastleigh Market
Proceedings resume September 28 for further directions.
