Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja’s 10-member cabinet will be vetted on Tuesday.
Nairobi clerk Edward Gichana in a notice on Saturday said the county executive nominees will be vetted by the appointment committee.
The vetting is set to start at 8am to 4.45pm at the county assembly.
“Pursuant to the provisions of Section 7(4) and 7(5) of the Public Appointments (County Assemblies) Approval Act, 2017, notice is hereby given to both the nominees and the general public on the resumption of approval hearings.
"It will be undertaken by the County Assembly’s Select Committee on Appointments in Charter Hall, County Assembly Wing, City Hall Buildings," the notice reads.
According to the notice, each nominee will be vetted for 45 minutes beginning with Stephen Mwangi who was nominated to the Built Environment and Urban Planning.
While unveiling the cabinet in October , Sakaja named Charles Kerich (Finance and Economic Planning), Brian Mulama ( Talents, Skills, Development and Care) and Patrick Mbogo - Mobility and Works.
Also, Ibrahim Auma (Administration and Personnel), Rosemary Kariuki (Hustlers and Business Opportunities, Maureen Njeri ( Green Nairobi ), Anastacia Mutethia ( Health, Wellness and Nutrition) and Susan Silantoi who will be in charge of Inclusivity, Public Participation and Customer Service.
The clerk said the nominees will be required to appear before the committee with original copies of the required supporting documents.
Once vetted, the committee will recommend to the House for the executives approval or rejection.
The vetting had been halted after the Association of Muslim Lawyers and the Nubian rights forum moved to court challenging Sakaja’s nominees.
They argued the list was discriminatory and no individual from the Islam group was shortlisted.
However, early this week the Employment and Labour relations court dismissed a case challenging the vetting of 10 Nairobi executive nominees.
Justice Anna Mwaure dismissed the petition saying it was filed prematurely.
Mwaure had issued orders stopping the process pending the hearing and determination.
The judge on Wednesday ruled that there was no evidence adduced that any members of those communities made application for the various positions and applicants were not considered on the basis of religion.
“The claim for discrimination is generalised and in absence of any evidence to prove this, the court would be reluctant to assume such is the position,” the judge ruled.
