Ngigi who described herself in court papers as a public-spirited citizen has
gone to court to challenge the appointment of the new Kenya Power & Lighting
Company managing director Bernard Ngugi. She seeks to compel the Employment and
Labour Relations Court to declare the appointment of Mr. Ngugi unconstitutional
for allegedly failing to put into consideration mandatory legal and
constitutional processes.
Ms Ngigi argues
that the appointment was made despite the fact that Mr Ngugi who formerly
served as the general manager, supply chain, where he oversaw a number of procurement
and tendering processes, among them the procurement of faulty transformers, a matter that is pending in court.
Ms Ngigi says that
it defies logic and legal considerations that an individual in office and
directly involved in the procurement process was cleared and subsequently
appointed the substantive managing director.
Ms Ngigi says the
hiring was marred by lack of transparency in the interview process, there was a
scanty information and recruitment detail."
Other than
revoking the appointment, Ms Ngigi also wants the court to compel the board to
make public the details of the entire clearance and recruitment process. She
has also named the Public Service Commission and the Attorney -General as
respondents in the case.
