A judge stepped into a messy fight over who runs Kenya's tech agency. Justice Nduma Nderi told the ICT Authority Board they cannot fire their chief executive Stanley Kamanguya. The court order stays until lawyers finish arguing about the case. Kamanguya took his bosses to court after they tried to kick him out. The judge wants both sides to calm down until the hearing happens.
Kamanguya says his job renewal followed all the right steps back in March. The board voted to keep him as boss and sent their decision to the government minister. The ICT minister signed off on giving Kamanguya another term starting this August. Everything looked settled until the board changed their minds about the whole deal. They called a special meeting to talk about undoing what they already decided.
The CEO argues his reappointment followed proper rules and cannot be reversed. Another court case about the same job dispute is already moving through the legal system. Kamanguya wants that case finished before anyone makes new decisions about his future. The board ignored the pending lawsuit and met anyway to discuss his fate. They voted Tuesday to cancel his job renewal completely.
Board members claim Kamanguya messed up the application process for keeping his position. They say he filed his paperwork late and broke government hiring rules. The board also complains that their March meeting happened without proper notice to all members. The case goes back to court July 7 for the final showdown.
