Holding

The court found the advertisement to be fair and compliant with the Respondent's Human Resource Policy, and denied the injunction request.

Facts

The applicant, Gicheha, was appointed Acting Regional Manager-Informal Settlements Region by the Respondent in 2018. He had previously acted as Operations and Maintenance Manager. The position was advertised internally in 2021, but Gicheha was not invited for an interview due to his lack of a postgraduate degree.

  2. Whether the advertisement for the position was fair and compliant with the Respondent's Human Resource Policy

Reasoning

The court ruled that the advertisement was based on the competency requirements for the position, and that Gicheha was qualified to act in the higher post and was being paid appropriate allowances.

Outcome

Denied the applicant's request for an injunction
