This follows a ruling by Justice James Rika barring the KPA board of directors from conducting the interviews until a petition filed by a human rights activist is heard and determined. This prompted the KPA board of directors to advertise for the position on April 8. But on June 11, Commission for Human Rights and Justice Chief Executive Julius Ogogo sued KPA and the Transport Cabinet Secretary. He obtained interim orders stopping interviews for the more than 150 applicants who had shown interest in the position. In his petition, Ogogo wanted the interviews suspended indefinitely until the Covid-19 pandemic was under control and the curfew lifted.
