How expired board terms sparked fight over KCAA leadership

The High Court has suspended the search for the next CEO of the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) following a petition challenging the board's authority. The recruitment was advertised on April 24, 2026, days after the terms of five board members allegedly expired, leading to claims of invalid quorum. Petitioner Humphrey Bulimu argues that the board lacked the legal quorum to initiate the hiring process and seeks to have the entire process declared unlawful. The case also challenges board member Anne Too's continued tenure after her mandate expired on April 20, 2026.
