State Jobs in Kenya: A new round of state appointments and reappointments has been made. One reappointed has caught the eye of Kenyans.
This is the reappointment of Robert Kochalle as a board member of the Kenya Film Classification Board.
The strange thing is that Kochalle died in May 2018.
The former MP for Laisamis Constituency (Marsabit South) Hon. Robert Kochale has passed on at Aga Khan Hospital in Nairobi following the long illness. The late who had previously suffered mild stroke underwent a successful heart operation before he passed away on that very day. How could have his name appeared in the list of nominees as a reappointment for State jobs in Kenya? Who was set to draw his salary? Below is the death announcement that was published in 2018 and his job reappointment today:
The board chairman, Ezekiel Mutua, defended the CS’s decision, saying the reappointment was an error. “Small issue being blown out of proportion. The Board presented the notification to the Ministry for replacement and inadvertently he was reappointed. It was not CS Mucheru’s mistake at all as the conversation started when KFCB was under the Ministry of Sports and Culture,” Mutua responded in a tweet.
