Nairobi Governor suffers another blow after his Environment CEC nominee was rejected by Nairobi MCA’s on Tuesday.
Sanjeev Sonia Birdi was found not conversant with key issues touching on the environment sector.
A report of the Select Committee on Appointments further states that the nominee is hostile and arrogant thus not fit to hold public office.
The report tabled by Majority leader Abdi Guyo on Tuesday states that the nominee has no capacity to solve the perennial environment-related challenges in the city after she failed to prove her general knowledge on key issues in the sector.
During the vetting held last week, Birdi failed to present her academic transcript and the Recognition and Equation of qualifications from the Commission for University as is required for degrees and postgraduate certificates conferred by foreign universities.
It was also established that Birdi has been charged in a court with an offence of creating a public disturbance and abusing her power.
Birdi was among four nominees who had appeared last week on Monday before the Nairobi County Assembly Powers and Privileged committee for vetting.
Stella Bosire who was nominated to the Health Docket did not submit her credentials no or did she appear before the committee for vetting.
“The environment issues in Nairobi does not require someone who has a D+ and cannot understand simple terms in the sector,”says Guyo
“As a committee, we did our best to make sure Nairobians get the best out of the women who had been nominated,” said Peter Imwatok, Minority Whip.
