Acting Treasury Cabinet Secretary Ukur Yattani has explained why his wife, Dr Gumato Yattani has received two state appointments simultaneously.
On Friday, flashy city lawyer Donald b Kipkorir tweeted: "Have just spoken with Hon. Ukur Yatani, our Minister for Finance & has explained your (sic)me why his wife, Dr. Gumato Yatani got the two jobs: JKUAT Council Chair was advertised & was competitive .. The other appointment by my friend H.E Peter Munya is a two months Task Force, "Kipkorir's tweet read.
This is after the lawyer raised concern over the appointments earlier on in the day citing that it was inappropriate for the CS to allow his wife to receive two state appointments.
She was appointed by Trade and Industrialization CS Peter Munya to be part of the Taskforce on Standards and Quality Infrastructure Reforms.
Education CS George Magoha at the same time appointed her to be the chairperson of the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) council.
