Employment and Labour Relations court judge Byram Ongaya said Mr Koome and Julius Ogogoh, who filed the case- to consider an out-of-court settlement over the matter. Mr Ogogoh moved to court after the police bosses rescinded an earlier decision allowing 120 officers, who were selected from the regular and Administration Police to join DCI. Justice Ongaya further directed the activist to file the case and served it upon Mr Koome and the county police commanders within three days. The activist said the DCI advertised positions granting opportunities to regular police and AP officers to join the DCI as specialised officers of the National Police Service. The officers were notified of the outcome of the interviews and Mr Koome approved the absorption and immediate release of all the 120 officers to join the DCI in a letter on April 29, 2024.
