High Court Judge Onesmus Makau on Friday revoked the appointment of former Othaya MP Mary Wambui as Chairperson of the National Employment Authority.

The judge said the legislator was inappropriate for the job, saying Executive decision by President Uhuru Kenyatta as irregular.

“The respondent does not meet the constitutional and statutory requirements and therefore unsuitable to serve,” he ruled.

A section of the MPs faulted Wambui’s appointment led by Nairobi Senator Johnson Sakaja, under Kenya Young Parliamentarians Association, who then challenged it in court.

However, Justice Makau added that Wambui had limited education and lacked at least seven years of experience in human resource management or its equivalent, a key requirement for the job.
