Energy Cabinet Secretary Monica Juma is on the spot for using a non-existent law to hire six directors of Rural Electrification and Energy Corporation (REREC), excluding nominees of the Council of Governors (CoG) from the power firm’s board.

Dr Juma on April 14 appointed the six directors to serve at the State agency for three years based on the Energy Act of 2006, which ceased to be in force in March 2019.
