Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Interior Cabinet Secretary, Fred Matiang’i, has appointed Michael Maina Kamanda, the son of politician Maina Kamanda, to a state job.<\/p>\n

In a Gazette Notice released on Friday, December 24, CS Matiang’i indicated that Judith Miruka, Michael Maina Kamanda and Joseph Too, had been appointed members of the Non-Governmental Organizations Co-ordination Board.<\/p>\n

The trio will sit at the Non-Governmental Organizations Co-ordination Board for a period of three years starting December 19, 2021.<\/p>\n

“In Exercise of the powers conferred by section 4 (1) of the Non-Governmental Organizations Co-ordination Act, the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Co-ordination of National Government appoints – Judith Miruka, Michael Maina Kamanda, Joseph Too,<\/p>\n

to be members of the Non-Governmental Organizations Co-ordination Board, for a term of three (3) years, with effect from the 19th December 2021,” the Notice read.<\/p>\n

In 2018, Michael Kamanda made headlines after Transport Cabinet Secretary, James Macharia, sacked him from the board of the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA).<\/p>\n

The revocation of Maina’s appointment was announced in a gazette notice issued on June 7, 2018.<\/p>\n

“In exercise of the powers conferred by Section 4 of the Kenya Ports Authority Act, the Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development revokes the appointment of Michael K. Maina as a member of the Board of Kenya Ports Authority,” the notice read.<\/p>\n

His sacking came after KPA Managing Director, Cathrine Mturi-Wairi, was suspended following a decision of the board.<\/p>\n

Maina explained that the board reached the conclusion to sack Wairi over incompetence that had seen systems at the port fail to function efficiently.<\/p>\n

“This has led to serious systems congestion of the port. The board observed that the above situation can only be explained by lack of effective leadership,” he stated.<\/p>\n

But a Mombasa High Court temporarily reinstated Wairi after a motion was filed by Mombasa resident Emmanuel Kenga, who argued that her removal was unprocedural and unconstitutional.<\/p>\n

Justice Erick Ogola also went ahead and blocked the appointment of Daniel Manduko as the MD.<\/p>\n

CS Macharia led CSs Fred Matiang’i, Adan Mohamed and Joe Mucheru to storm the KPA offices at midnight to investigate graft and massive cargo losses at the port.<\/p>\n
