The Labor and Employment Relations Court in Nyeri has issued a warrant of arrest against Embu Governor Martin Wambora and three other county officials.
This is after Governor Wambora, County Secretary County Jason Nyaga, the Finance and Economic Planning Executive John Njagi and his Chief Officer Ruth Ndirangu failed to appear before the court on Tuesday for sentencing.
A ruling issued on Thursday, March 10, found them in contempt of court for failing to remit the Kenya County Government Workers’ Union statutory fees despite a court order issued on December 1, 2020 instructing them to do so.
The Embu county government has failed to remit statutory fees to the county government workers union since 2020.
Judge John Njagi Marete has now instructed the OCS for Nyeri Police station to arrest them.
The case will be mentioned on March 17 to review the progress.
