A Parliament committee has recommended the removal of Tabitha Mutemi as a board member of the Media Council of Kenya (MCK). This comes as the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission last week said it was neither consulted nor notified about its communications manager Mutemi’s appointment as a board member of the Media Council of Kenya. In a letter to Parliament, IEBC had said it would take action against Mutemi "at an appropriate time". The letter signed by Obadia Keitany on behalf of the chief executive officer invoked the IEBC Act 2011 and its human resource manual. “Consequently, Mutemi’s appointment as board member to MCK is not viable while still in employment of the IEBC as pronounced by the laws,” the letter read.
