Updated Thu, August 11th 2016 at 10:38 GMT +3EMBU, KENYA: The Embu County government is seeking to alleviate an impending crisis in the public service that could see over 300 workers lose their jobs. In a decree against the county on November 20, 2015, the industrial court issued a declaration that the decisions made by the County Public Service Board during the interdiction of the board chair were null and void. According to documents filed at the court, County Secretary Raymond Kinyua submits that the functions of the county government would be paralysed if the judgement was allowed to stand. But with the declaration of the court, these people now stand to lose their jobs, submits the county. The county government is also wary that the judgement would have a ripple effect on the affected staff.
