171 Kenyans will no longer be able to secure employment with the Judiciary after it announced the cancellation of a previous job advertisement due to economic constraints.
In a notice to the public dated March 4, Judicial Service Commission (JSC) Secretary Winfred Mokaya revealed that the Judiciary lacked the financial capacity to employ the candidates, hence the decision to withdraw the opportunity. "This is to notify the general public and the applicants that, owing to the fiscal constraints affecting the country, the JSC has cancelled the advertisement for the following positions," the notice read in part.
The Judiciary had planned to recruit 60 legal researchers and had opened applications for 111 internship opportunities across different fields.
