The High Court on Tuesday dismissed a petition challenging the appointment of Public Service Commission (PSC) Vice Chairperson Mary Kimonye and commissioners Boya Molu, Irene Asienga, and Francis Meja.

Justice Bahati Mwamuye found that the petitioners Dr Magare Gikenyi and activist Eliud Matindi, failed to establish any illegality, irrationality, or procedural impropriety in the appointments.
