A man who was denied a chance to become a chief for allegedly being overqualified has gotten relief after the High Court quashed the appointment of his competitor.

Abdullahi Omar Abajillo, who holds a bachelor's degree in law, had lodged a petition in the Employment and Labour Relations Court at Meru where he argued that his constitutional rights were violated during the recruitment process of the chief for Township Location in Moyale Sub County, Marsabit.
