The Employment and Labour Relations Court today stopped the suspension and replacement of former Machakos County Assembly Clerk Mr Joseph Mutisya.
Justice B.Manani issued a conservatory order, staying the decision made by the Machakos County Assembly Service Board on November 14,2023,
The board suspended the clerk for 14 days during which he must respond to three allegations of official impropriety.
The Nairobi court further stopped the County Assembly Public Service Board from instituting removal proceedings against the Clerk until the matter is heard and determined.
Mutisya was suspended for altering County legislation, failure to implement county resolutions and incompetence. The stay order however seemed to imply that Mutisya was suspendef fot unspecified reasons.
The order also seemed oblivious of the fact that the litigant had been replaced the next day and his successor, who was his deputy Mr Dennis Muthui gazetted in his place, albeit on acting basis.
Mutisya moved to The Employment and Labour Relations Court on Monday, November 27,2023, to challenge the decision by The County Assembly Service Board.
