Division and case type: Employment and Labour Relations CourtJudicial Review
The court considered an application for certiorari and prohibition to quash disciplinary proceedings against an Ex-parte Applicant who claimed he was suspended without a formal charge sheet, and that the disciplinary process was unlawful under constitutional provisions. The Applicant argued that the 1st Respondent lacked jurisdiction as the disciplinary action violated Article 229(8) of the Constitution and Article 79 on economic crimes, and that the car loan in question was a legal conferment for a clerk of the County Assembly. The Respondents opposed, asserting that the disciplinary process was lawful and that the Applicant had exhausted internal appeals. The court did not grant the reliefs sought.

The court addressed an application for prohibition and certiorari by the Applicant against the Respondent's recruitment process for Deans and Directors of schools. The Applicant argued that the recruitment process was opaque, lacked public participation, and violated constitutional provisions on transparency and public participation (Articles 10 and 232 of the Constitution). The Respondent maintained that due process was followed, the University Council properly managed the recruitment, and the Applicant had no role in the appointment process. The court determined that the recruitment process was concluded and the Applicant failed to demonstrate a violation of constitutional rights or due process, thus dismissing the application with costs.
