The search for a new CEO for the Teachers Service Commission has hit a roadblock after the Employment and Labour Relations halted the process following a petition.
On the evening of Monday, May 26, Justice Ocharo Kebira of the Employment and Labour Relations court in Mombasa issued interim orders following a petition by a Mombasa resident challenging the legality and constitutionality of the ongoing process.
In the petition, the petitioner argued that the entire recruitment process was rigged with constitutional violations as well as discriminatory criteria. "The status quo that shall obtain on May 27, 2025, at 5:10 PM, as regards the impugned process, shall be maintained till further orders of this court," Justice Kebira ruled.
