"This impunity of disobeying court orders will lead to anarchy. It’s not even a month, and he is already breaking his oath."

Activist Boniface Mwangi Has blasted President William Ruto over reports indicating that he has disobeyed court orders.

This comes after the Public Service Commission maintained that they will carry on with interviews for the position of the Cabinet Administrative Secretary despite an existence of a court order barring the same from happening.

While reacting to a report on the same, Mwangi accused the President of  breaking the court of order.

He demanded that he respects the rule of law and follow what the courts says with regards to creation of CAS post.

"Looks like christian number 1 will not respect the courts. It’s going to be a chaotic, long five years if he continues like this. This impunity of disobeying court orders will lead to anarchy. It’s not even a month, and he is already breaking his oath of office. Obey the court William," Mwangi wrote on his social media.

The court on October 12 suspended the implementation of the process towards the establishment of the office of Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS) in the public service.

Employment and Labour Court Judge Monica Mbaru granted the order following an application by the Law Society of Kenya.

She directed the public service commission and the attorney general to be served with the application by LSK before 14 October.

The matter will be mentioned on October 24, for hearing directions.

LSK says the lack of clarity on the intended office of the CAS denies the public the opportunity to make comments on the possibility of the duplicity of roles between the Principal Secretary and the CAS.

LSK says any duplicity would lead to the wastage of public funds in wages and attendant expenses.

The ruling comes even as the public service commission has welcomed applications for the CAS position.

In a statement released on Wednesday, PSC chairman Anthony Muchiri said applicants have until October 27, 5pm to submit their documents.
