After losing out on East Africa Legislative Assembly, (EALA) Charles Nyachae has been nominated as a judge at the East African Court of Justice. Nyachae was among the Jubilee nominees to the EALA but failed to garner enough votes from parliament hence failure to qualify.
He served as the Chair of the Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution previously.
Nyachae actively campaigned for President Kenyatta’s campaigns and was a prominent fixture on the trail.
The new judge will be sworn-in in Kampala, Uganda where the President is currently attending a regional Head of State retreat on infrastructure and health financing and development.
The president has also held bilateral talks with his Tanzanian counterpart John Magufuli and has made the case for a collaborative approach to development projects and for regional integration.
The development projects estimate the kinds of resources required over the next 10 years to about USD78 billion.
Earlier, President Kenyatta had supported the role played by Private-Public Partnerships, “We must start looking at more innovative ways to finance our infrastructure. We cannot finance this purely from development partners, purely from the resources that we generate as states. So I’m going to say that I’m personally a strong believer in this PPP model as being one way of financing infrastructure development,” he said.
