The fate of President William Ruto's legal advisor's job is now in the hands of the Judges after a case has been filed questioning their work, pay and criteria used to select them.
Nairobi based lawyer Suiyanka Lempaa in his case filed before Justice Mwamuye claims that the positions are being abused to shelve rejects and reward cronies.
The lawyer says no one knows what the work of the advisors is and how important it is to the country as the government have other technocrats and Principal Secretaries whose work is cut out in the law and similar to theirs. "There was no information provided to the public about the intention to create the office, views of the public were never sought about the need for or viability of the offices; and generally, there was no transparency in the creation of or recruitment of persons to fill the offices," argues Lempaa.
