The Social Health Authority (SHA) has suffered another blow after the High Court issued conservatory orders on Monday, March 24, halting the recruitment process for several key positions.
In the ruling, Justice Lawrence N.
Mugambi responded to a petition filed by the Kenya Union of Clinical Officers (KUCO), which challenged the legality of the recruitment drive.
The judge ordered that the petition and supporting documents be served by close of business on March 24, 2025, with responses expected to be filed within the next three days. "Pending the hearing and determination of the application, a conservatory order is hereby issued restraining the respondent, its employees, officers, agents, or persons acting under its instructions from proceeding with the planned interviews and recruitment of employees on the basis of the impugned advertisement," the ruling read in part.
