Acting Communications Authority of Kenya Director General Mercy Wanjau
The Communication Authority of Kenya (CA) will wait longer to fill the position of Director-General after the court nullified the recruitment process to replace Francis Wangusi, former head of the regulator.
This follows a decision by the Employment and Labour Court that found the recruitment process was unprocedural and illegal.
“It is clear that the advertisement for the position of the Director-General by the respondent (CA) failed to meet the minimum statutory requirements in terms of both the qualifications of the position and the process of advertisement,” explained Justice Maureen Onyango while giving the orders.
