The Mombasa Employment and Labour Relations Court has temporarily stopped recruitment of a Kenya Ports Authority managing director after a civil society group moved to court terming the process nontransparent. The court further said the authority will not be affected by keeping the position vacant since the entity has an acting MD whose mandate runs up to September. The judge further allowed the Dock Workers Union (DWU) to join the petition as interested parties. The board of directors said the law regulating the board does not require unnecessary intervention of the court. The workers union who sought to be enjoined the matter as an interested party said the matter directly involves its members.
