- The Supreme Court of Kenya. Thursday, February 20, 2020.
Simon Kiragu
-
The High Court has temporarily suspended the appointment of retired Judge Erastus Githinji as the chair of Tax Appeals Tribunals Board.
The suspension came after the Law Society of Kenya threatened to sue the Treasury CS should retired judge be sworn in as the chairman of the Tax Appeals Tribunal.
The LSK argued that Justice Githinji was not qualified to chair the tribunal because Section 4(3) of the Tax Appeals Tribunal Act requires that the chairperson be a person qualified to be appointed as a judge of the High Court.
Justice Githinji was, therefore, unqualified to chair the tribunals’ boards as qualifications for the appointment of a judge are set out in Article 166(5) of the Constitution, which requires a High Court judge to retire at the age of 70.
