The High Court has overturned its own decision to stop Muthaura’s appointment by President Kenyatta.
It vacated its order suspending the appointment of Ambassador Francis Muthaura and other three to the Kenya Revenue Authority board.
Justice Bryan Ongaya lifted the order 24 hrs after issuing the order.
Activist Okiya Omtata took issue with President Uhuru Kenyatta appointment saying he should allow fair competition, equal opportunities for all ethnic groups.
Ambassador Muthaura is a retired Head of Civil Service.
President Kenyatta on May 23 2018 appointed Mr Muthaura as chairman of Kenya Revenue Authority board.
The court also vacated the suspension of Charles Makori Omanga and Mukesh shah, Eng Leonard Ithau and Susan Mudhune as the board members of KRA.
Omtata told court that such appointments must be transparent and provide fair competition, equal opportunities for appointment of men and women, ethnic groups and person with disabilities.
The judge made the decision after the Attorney General informed court that the order was not served to them.
