Kenya Human Rights Commission challenges 19 Cabinet Secretary appointments for inadequate integrity checks and insufficient public participation.

Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) filed a petition challenging the appointment of 19 Cabinet Secretaries, citing inadequate integrity checks and insufficient public participation during the vetting process. The petitioners argue improper vetting could lead to unqualified or unsuitable individuals being appointed, undermining public trust and good governance. They request the court to revoke the appointments, declare them illegal and unconstitutional, and order the President to initiate a new appointments process in line with the constitution.
