The High Court on Tuesday dismissed a petition challenging the appointment of Public Service Commission (PSC) Vice Chairperson Mary Kimonye and commissioners Boya Molu, Irene Asienga, and Francis Meja.
Justice Bahati Mwamuye found that the petitioners Dr Magare Gikenyi and activist Eliud Matindi, failed to establish any illegality, irrationality, or procedural impropriety in the appointments. "This court does not sit in judgment over the wisdom of appointments, but only their legality," ruled Justice Mwamuye, adding that there was no evidence of any constitutional or legal violations in the selection process. "In this case, the petitioners have not demonstrated illegality, irrationality, or procedural impropriety.
Accordingly, and for the reasons set out above, this court finds that the petition dated January 17, 2025 lacks merit and is hereby dismissed, with no orders as to the costs.
Orders accordingly," the judge ruled.
