Three ODM MPs led by Hon. John Mbadi called out the president as a fast rising dictator who doesn’t adhere to the law in making appointments. This was in reaction to the appointment of former presidential hopeful Abduba Dida.
While addressing a press conference,the MPs expressed their disgust at the president singling out the appointment of Dida as illegal and carried out with impunity,If the President was only interested in appointing a comedian to chair the CDF Board,he could have as well picked Mzee Ojwang. Does the President have legal advisors at state house?Why do they allow him to make illegal appointments like that” posed Mbadi.
His Rarieda constituency counterpart Hon. Gumbo was also in the same thoughts that the appointment of Dida did not follow the due process,” Dida’s qualification is that he provided comic relief in the last presidential campaigns. That doesn’t qualify him to chair CDF Board” said Eng.Gumbo.
Hon.Diriye was on the opinion that Dida should turn down Uhuru’s appointment as that will put him in a cat and rat battle with the parliament,”I advise my brother Dida not to take up the appointment.Why was he given 8 months yet the act provides for 3″ said Hon. Diriye.
But was the due process followed for the president to give Dida the 9 month contract job to head the CDF,according to state corporations ,The President had no power 2 appoint CDF Board Chair – only the CS can do so and ONLY from Board Members approved by Parliament s5(4) of Act The State Corporations and again Act (Cap 446) gives the President sweeping powers in regards to Management of State Corporations and CDF Board is one.
Do you think the appointment was illegal,should the appointment be revoked and does Dida suit the job?
