EACC confirmed that Mr Ngwele’s appointment was above board and within the law.
The investigations further pointed out that courts had also ruled in favour of interim clerks.
Even after the court ruled in favour of the clerk, Ms Elachi went ahead to suspend him.
She also ejected him from the assembly’s board, subsequently locking him out of his office.
The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has affirmed that the appointment of Mr Jacob Ngwele as Nairobi County Assembly clerk was within the law and that he is legally in office.
The verdict follows investigations by the commission spanning seven months after Speaker Beatrice Elachi invited the agency to investigate the appointment of Mr Ngwele. This was after the two fell out with Ms Elachi claiming that the clerk was irregularly appointed.
