The Employment and Labour Relations Court has temporarily suspended the appointment of former Othaya MP Mary Wambui as Chairperson of the National Employment Authority. Advocates, argued that Wambui is not qualified for appointment as Chairperson as per provisions of Section 10 (2) of the National Employment Authority Act. "Wambui should not assume office as the Chairperson of the National Employment Authority, as she is a person not qualified under the law to be the Chairperson of the National Employment Authority" they argued. The Chairman of KYPA Nairobi Senator Johnson Sakaja instructed the KYPA lawyers to challenge the appointment of the former Othaya MP. "I have confidence that she has the ability to serve Kenyans in a different capacity but not as the vision carrier and chairperson of the NEA," Sakaja said.
