 Ruto told tame his CSs not engage in politics while still in office

President William Ruto has been told to tame  his Cabinet Secretaries not to engage in Politics while still holding public offices.

Former President of the East African Law Society Senior Counsel James Aggrey Mwamu says the constitution and the laws bar Civil Servants including Cabinet Secretaries from engaging deeply in politics.

Addressing the press in Kisumu, Mwamu said the laws bars the cabinet secretaries be it in United Democratic Alliance {UDA} or Orange Democratic Movement {ODM} Party serving in the Cabinet from engaging in Politics.

Mwamu says Leadership and Integrity Act Section 12 talks about Conflict of Interest thus barring the Cabinet Secretary from politicking.

“Cabinet Secretaries are not supposed to engage in political affairs of this county but you find that some of the CSs are donning the shirts belonging to political parties’ colors and this is conflict of interest,” Mwamu says.

Mwamu says such civil may be taken to court and they will be barred from holding public office.

He says the current constitution separates Cabinet Secretaries from running the political affairs of the country.

Mwamu says those Cabinet Secretaries who were hired on the basis of being experts should remain so.

“If such CSs want to engage in politics, then they should first resign to allow them engage in political affairs of the country,” Mwamu adds.
