A row has erupted over the appointment of former M-cheza Chief Executive Officer Peter Maina Karimi as the Director General of Gambling Regulatory Authority.

In the case filed before High Court Judge Patricia Nyaundi, the board is accused of failing to consider that Maina was allegedly still an active gambling company player by the time of the appointment.

On the other hand, Maina seeks to have the case struck out, arguing that it is a labour dispute.

He maintains that the High Court has no jurisdiction to entertain the case filed by Patrick Mwashigadi. Instead, he says, it should have been filed before the Employment and Labour Relations Court.
