By MAUREEN KAKAHMore by this AuthorThe Employment and Labour Relations Court has suspended recruitment of an Auditor-General pending determination of a case filed by activist Okiya Omtatah. The position of the Auditor-General is currently vacant as Mr Edward Ouko's term expired in August 2019. There was a recruitment last year but the selection panel could not nominate three people for appointment by the President, saying none qualified. “The decision to re-advertise the vacancy in the position of Auditor-General is unconstitutional and, therefore, invalid, null and void,” he said. He issued the order in the case in which Mr Omtatah sued the selection panel for the appointment of the Auditor-General and the Attorney General besides the President.
