Mahakama Kuu imefuta uteuzi wa aliyekuwa Waziri Aisha Jumwa kama mwenyekiti wa Bodi ya Barabara Kenya. Uamuzi huo ulitolewa kwa sababu mchakato ulikiuka sheria na katiba.

Mahakama ilisema uteuzi huo ulikuwa kinyume cha Katiba na batili tangu mwanzo. Ilikataa madai ya serikali kwamba Jumwa aliteuliwa na Chama cha Wasafirishaji Kenya kabla ya Rais kumteua.

Uteuzi ulifanyika kupitia Gazeti la Serikali Nambari 384 la Januari 16, 2025 kama mwanachama, na Nambari 395 la Januari 17, 2025 kama mwenyekiti. Mahakama ilisisitiza kuwa sheria inahitaji uteuzi kutoka kwa taasisi zilizotambuliwa kama Taasisi ya Wahandisi Kenya na Chama cha Wasafirishaji Kenya.

Kesi iliwasilishwa na mwanaharakati Francis Awino pamoja na Chama cha Wanasheria Kenya na Patrick Njuguna. Mahakama ilielekeza kuwa uteuzi wowote mpya lazima uzingatie Sheria ya Bodi ya Barabara Kenya na Ibara za 10, 47 na 232 za Katiba.
