The High Court has allowed the Communications Authority (CA) to restrict the recruitment of two senior officials at the state agency to master’s degree holders, after arguing that they are technical positions requiring a higher level of competence.

The two positions- director of frequency spectrum management and director of competition management- were advertised last year but the process was suspended after it was challenged in court, on grounds that it was discriminatory and meant to lock out deserving Kenyans.
