Application dismissed as no merit found

Facts

Petitioner Joseph Amwoma was appointed Chief of Staff by the late Governor of Nyamira County. The Governor died on December 18, 2020, and the Deputy Governor, Amos Kimwomi Nyaribo, assumed office. The Petitioner alleges wrongful termination without following legal procedures.

Issues

  • Fair administrative action
  • Right to fair hearing
  • Protection from unfair termination

Reasoning

The termination was not unfair and the appointment was personal to the late Governor, making the Petitioner's insistence on being Chief of Staff of the current Governor untenable.

Application dismissed
