Elachi in Trouble Over Illegal Promotion and Employment Of NCA Staff
Nairobi City County Assembly has called for investigation and Surcharge of former Speaker Beatrice Elachi. This is after she was alleged of illegality in the promotion of 28 staffs when she was at the helm of the Assembly leadership.
In a report tabled in the assembly by Justice and Legal Committee it was revealed that Assembly Service Board then went against the laws in the promotion and recruitment of staffs.
The report cited ethnicity and lack of experience among those promoted and lack of budgetary allocation for the promotions conducted in 2020.
“The creation of offices review of organization structure , promotion of staff and recruitment undertaken do not confine with the law specifically the provision section 37 of the public service commission Act 2017… Organisation Review exercise conducted outside the establishment framework under section 24 (4) of the Assembly Service Act 2017, regulation, guidelines and policies …the organisation review are hereby declared, null and void and promotions be revoked or quashed as such in totality.” The report reads.
Speaking during the discussion of the motion, High-rise MCA, Ken Oyugi expressed his surprise on why the board was on rush for the promotion. He accused Elachi of messing up with lives of innocent staff.
“I found out this inquiry has no malice I was wondering what was the hurry to do this promotions…I will recommend that former Speaker Elachi be surcharged because she messed up lives of innocent staffs.” High rise MCA Ken Oyugi told the House.
‘‘Am happy the chair legal has come up with this report. I was also humiliated it was done without following any law and I support this motion fully,” added MCA Osman Adow.
Honourable Mary Arivitza attempted to stop the discussion of the report citing that the court did not bear any fruit with speaker ruling that the said order did not bar assembly from conducting its business.
The committee will now report to the House after 14 days on the implementation progress of the report.
Already panic has engulfed about 28 employees who were promoted during Elachis’ tenure with some now threatening to move to court should County Assembly Public Service Board demote them as recommended in the report.
