By SAM KIPLAGATMore by this AuthorA legal battle is looming between the National Police Service and graduate constables as the institution seeks to overturn a court’s decision directing it to promote the officers and remunerate them accordingly upon graduation. NPS, together with the National Police Service Commission, has indicated that it will appeal a decision issued this week by the Employment and Labour Relations Court. Justice Byram Ongaya ruled that NPS was discriminating against police constables who have acquired degree certificates after joining the service. The judge directed that the officers be immediately moved from Job Group F to J in the rank of inspector. Five police officers — Evans Muriuki, Ruth Odikara, David Ochom, Linet Wandia Njagi and George Barasa — filed the case, accusing NPS of discrimination.
