NAIROBI—Petitioners have moved to court to challenge the nominees for the positions of Wajir County Public Service Board chairman, secretary and five members citing discrimination and lack of slot for minorities.
The petitioners also poked holes in the process that saw single-sourcing of a consultancy firm that shortlisted and hired the interested applicants.
Ahmed Adan Hefow challenged Governor Mohamed Abdi of Wajir over the composition of the nominees at the High Court.
