The fate of more than 300 newly recruited employees of the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) now hangs in the balance after human rights organisations moved to court seeking to nullify the entire recruitment exercise.
In their filings submitted on Friday, May 15, the petitioners are citing alleged violations of constitutional principles of transparency, fairness and accountability. They say the exercise was conducted in secrecy, lacked disclosure of key information and may have been influenced by extraneous considerations.
