The Commission on Administrative Justice (CAJ), also known as the ombudsman, has announced that a prison officer sacked over allegations of desertion has been successfully reinstated following its intervention.
In a statement dated April 24, the ombudsman stated that the prison officer had sought help from the commission after the Public Service Commission ignored his appeal for months. "I am happy to inform you that I was reinstated to the service and posted to Homa Bay.
Thank you." These were the words of Mr Edwin Ochengo Nyangau in an appreciation letter to the Commission," the statement read.
Reportedly, the officer had appealed his sacking to the PSC through the Commissioner General of Prisons, but he was only met with delayed updates and not much progress.
