Labor Court Suspends Resignation Order On Public Officers

Labour Relations Court Judge Monica Mbaru has suspend a directive that would have seen all public officers seeking political position in the upcoming August election resign before 9th February until February 10, when she will issue further directives. 

“For the interest of justice and in order to make a comprehensive ruling on the applications by EACC and PSC, I find it just and fair to extend the interim orders herein until February 10, 2022,” said Justice Mbaru.

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) had directed civil servants to quit on February 9, or risk being disqualified on basis of failing to resign on or before six months to the General Election.
