The Employment and Labour Relations Court in Nairobi has nullified the controversial promotions within the Office of the Attorney General from last year, declaring them unconstitutional and a violation of public service laws.
In a judgment issued on Thursday, May 29, Justice Byam Ongaya quashed the promotions for not being competitively and meritoriously made.
The judgment, which dismantles appointments to senior positions including Senior Deputy Solicitor General and Deputy Solicitor General, also affects 226 other officers who were elevated under the same irregular process.
The positions are: two Senior Deputy Solicitor Generals, 13 Deputy Solicitor Generals, four Chief State Counsels, 63 Deputy Chief State Counsels, and 145 Principal State Counsels.
