Court bars Adah Onyango from acting as Nairobi assembly clerk

A Labour Court has temporarily barred Adah Onyango from acting as Nairobi City County Assembly Clerk and Secretary to the County Assembly service board.

Employment and Labour Judge Nduma Nderi issued the order following an application filed by Human Rights activist Okiya Omtatah.

Omtatah argues Onyango has violated the law in that she has acted in the office of the Clerk for more than the maximum six months allowed in law.

He says Onyango should have vacated office and handed over to her alternate, Pauline Akuku, the Deputy Clerk Administration.

Onyango was appointed on Monday June 7, 2021 as the acting clerk and secretary to the County assembly service board.

She ought to have vacated the said office on December 6.

The case will be heard on January 18.
