By ABIUD OCHIENGMore by this AuthorA court has stopped the county government of Nyamira from replacing workers. The Employment and Labour Relations Court further stopped the devolved unit from recruiting any person to fill the positions of 10 chief county officers and one county secretary, as was intended in an advertisement by the county. “The affected officers’ employment contracts have not expired and the county government has breached their contractual terms,” Mr Omao said in court papers. Among those sued include: The County of Nyamira, the governor, county secretary, chairperson and secretary of Nyamira County Public Service Board. Some of the new governors have sacked several county staff, with critics terming the move as an attempt to reward their loyalists with the posts.
