Nakuru court has suspended the vetting of 10 county executive committee nominees saying the suit has raised issues that merit its attention.
The ruling was made on Thursday by Justice Stephen Radido of the Labour and Employment Relations court .Justice Radido said that the matter needs to be looked at deeply before considering the ruling on October 24.Nakuru county assembly was to vet the CEC nominees for two days starting October 23.
However, Nakuru West MP Samuel Arama moved to court under a certificate of urgency to stop the process.
Arama accused Governor Lee Kinyanjui of alleged discrimination in the nominations.
Through his lawyer Samson Nyagaka, he said the Governor discriminated certain tribes in the county.
In his affidavit he sad it was unfair for the Governor to exclude Kisiis, Luhyas, and Luos yet they are represented in the county.Arama urged the court to bar the county assembly and the Governor from acting on the list saying those sidelined will suffer irreparable loss.
The court ordered that the county public service board, Kinyanjui and the county government be served.
