The troubled NGO Coordination Board executive director Fazul Mohamed has taken to court Devolution Cabinet Secretary Mwangi Kiunjuri.
Mr Mohamed claims that the recent action taken by the Kiunjuri to dissolve the board was unlawful.
The CS on Wednesday dissolved the NGOs Coordination Board in a move that also saw Mohamed sent on compulsory leave.
According to Kiunjuri, concerns had been raised over Mohamed’s qualification for the job at the time of interviews and appointment.
The dismissed director however says that Kiunjuri misused his authority because he does not have the powers to dismiss him, further arguing that the constitution vests those powers in the Office of the President.
