Haki Africa has threatened to take Trade CS Moses Kuria to court over his comments on Nation Media Group.
In an interview with TV47, executive director Hussein Khalid stated that they will be going to court next week to file their complaints.
“We have already begun the process of going to court, and we have lawyers looking into this matter,” Khalid stated on Wednesday.
He stated that the issues they will present before the court are related to Chapter 6 of the Constitution.
According to Chapter 6, the rule of law is based on the notion that state officers are the nerve center of the republic and bear the highest level of responsibility in the management of state activities, and thus their behavior should be above reproach.
“A State officer shall behave, whether in public and official life, in private life, or in association with other persons, in a manner that avoids any conflict between personal interests and public or official duties, compromises any public or official interest in favor of a personal interest, or demeans the office the officer holds,” says the Kenya Law Reform Commission in a statement.
The law states that any state officer who contravenes the act, shall be subject to the applicable disciplinary procedure for the relevant office and may, in accordance with the disciplinary procedure referred to or be dismissed or otherwise removed from office.
