Court ends procurement head dispute in Kilifi County

KILIFI, KENYA: Industrial court has declared Matano Riziki Choge as the Head of Supply Chain of Kilifi County Government after a protracted two year legal battle with the former office holder.
Justice Onesmus Makua made this ruling last Friday after dismissing an application of Kevin Kigen Kieti who had petitioned the court to nullify Choge's appointment for allegedly not being qualified during the interview.

Kigen had argued that Choge did not have a degree during the interview to qualify for appointment in line with the advertisement for the job. He claimed Choge had no valid degree to be selected by the Kilifi County Service Board for interview.
