All Ministers Elected to Various Positions in The March 4 General Election Ordered To relinguish their Cabinet Posts Immediately
President Kibaki has directed all ministers elected to various positions in the March 4 General Election to relinquish their Cabinet posts immediately. Below is a copy of the letter:
Pursuant
to Article 126 of the Constitution of Kenya 2010, His Excellency the
President shall appoint a place and date for the 1st sitting of the new
House which shall not be more than 30 days after the General Elections
held on 4th March, 2013. On the first day of the sitting, the first
Order of Business will be Swearing-in of members and election of the
Speaker of the National Assembly and the Speaker of the Senate. The date
of 1st sitting of Parliament is tentatively scheduled for Thursday,
28th March, 2013.
Under the new constitutional dispensation,
one person cannot hold two State Offices. Indeed, all elected persons
were contained in a Special Gazette Notice dated 12th March, 2013. In
essence, this formalizes the appointment into the elective offices save
for the swearing-in.
At the
advice of the Hon. Speaker and the Attorney General, His Excellency the
President has, therefore, directed that all Ministers and Assistant
Ministers who were elected during the recent General Election to the
positions of Senators, Governors, Members of the National Assembly or
Women Representatives should resign, with immediate effect, so as to
qualify to be sworn in by the Clerk of the National Assembly.
In this regard, Ministers/Assistant Ministers who did not compete or
qualify for the said elective posts will remain in Government, until the
swearing-in of the President and appointment of the new Cabinet
Secretaries.
Secondly, your attention is drawn to the
provisions of Article 134(2) of the Constitution forbidding the
nomination, appointment or dismissal of State or Public Officers during
the transition period referred to by the Constitution as the‘period of
temporary incumbency’. Consequently, all appointments effected after the
4th March, 2013 are illegal and, therefore, null and void. The
appointees and affected State Corporations should be notified
accordingly.
Thirdly, by a copy of this letter, Permanent Secretaries/Accounting Officers have today been directed to:
(a) ensure that this directive is implemented immediately; and
(b) ensure, as earlier directed, that all major contracts and payments
in excess of Kshs.500,000 are suspended forthwith. Any exemption to this
particular directive must be sought from the Office of the President by
the Accounting Officer on behalf of the Ministry or the State
Corporation/Parastatal concerned.
Please give this matter your urgent and personal attention and confirm full and immediate compliance.
FRANCIS T. KIMEMIA, EGH
PERMANENT SECRETARY, SECRETARY TO
THE CABINET AND HEAD OF PUBLIC SERVICE
