A court has stopped the ongoing recruitment of three senior staff at Kisii University after accusations the institution structured its adverts to suit certain individuals.

The order by Justice Stephen Radido follows a petition by the Kenya Universities Staff Union (KUSU) which sought a fresh start of the hiring process over fears unqualified individuals may end up taking the positions if the requirements are not revised.
