President William Ruto suffered his first setback on Wednesday after the Employment and Labour Relations Court barred the government from hiring new Cabinet Administrative Secretaries (CAS) in a court case filed by the Law Society of Kenya (LSK).

Justice Monicah Mbaru issued the temporary orders, mounting the first hurdle for President William Ruto to put up his government.
