Facts
The ex parte applicant, David Wanyonyi, was ordered to be re-engaged into the Kenya Defence Forces or retired with full pension/benefits by Ongaya J in Industrial Case No. 401 of 2013. The Respondents failed to comply with this order.
Issues
- Whether the court has jurisdiction to compel the Respondents to pay the decretal amount and/or reinstate the applicant
- Whether the Chief of Defence Forces or Army Commander act as accounting officers of the Kenya Defence Forces
Reasoning
The court found that none of the parties sought to be compelled have been shown to be the proper and correct party(ies) in respect of the statutory function sought to be performed. The ex parte applicant failed to show the legal nexus between compliance with the Court’s decree and the statutory duties of the Respondents.

Dismissed
