Human rights groups, led by VOCAL Africa, have filed a petition in the High Court challenging the recent recruitment exercise by the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA). The petition, filed on May 15, alleges that the hiring process failed to adhere to established public service procedures and violated constitutional provisions guaranteeing fairness and transparency. The petitioners are asking the court to nullify the recruitment exercise and order a fresh process that complies with public service regulations.
