The Employment Labour and Relations Court (ELRC) on Thursday, February 16 ruled that the Public Service Commission (PSC) followed due process in initiating the recruitment of Chief Administrative Secretaries CASs
In a statement, Law Society of Kenya (LSK) President Eric Theuri confirmed that the court had dismissed the petition challenging the process.
“ELRC court delivers judgment on the CAS case and finds that the PSC followed the correct procedure in setting up the office. The petition by the Law Society of Kenya is dismissed,” read the statement.
Initially, ELRC had barred the government from hiring new Cabinet Administrative Secretaries (CAS) in a court case filed by the Law Society of Kenya (LSK).
In her ruling Justice Monicah Mbaru issued temporary orders halting President William Ruto from constituting his cabinet.
“In the Interim to allow service upon the Respondent an order of stay of implementation of the process of establishment of the office of Chief Administrative Secretary in the Public Service be and is hereby issued,” ruled Justice Mbaru.
The LSK was opposed to the hiring of the CASs arguing that PSC never disclosed to the public the effect of hiring persons who were not identified by the Constitution.
