By SAM KIPLAGATMore by this AuthorNot so fast, the employment court has told politician Mary Wambui in her quest to take the job at the National Employment Authority. Justice Hellen Wasilwa issued the order in Nairobi on Wednesday in a case filed by the Kenya Young Parliamentarians Association. In the case championed by the association’s chairman and Nairobi Senator Johnson Sakaja, the petitioners argue that Ms Wambui is not qualified under the law, policy and best practice, to be the chairperson of the authority. Ms Wambui, Mr Sakaja’s team argues, does not conform to the provisions of Section 10 (2)(c) of the National Employment Authority Act and does not meet the threshold of having at least seven years' experience in human resource management or its equivalent. The qualifications of the chairperson of the authority, they say, are mandatory and not discretionary.
