Kenya Railways boss Philip Mainga has been dealt a major blow after the Labour Court issued interim orders barring him from continuing to occupy and exercise the powers of Managing Director and CEO of the State corporation.
Justice Nzioki wa Makau of the Employment and Labour Relations Court issued the interim orders after considering a petition filed by Joan Machuma Nyongesa, who has challenged the legality of Mainga’s continued tenure at the helm of Kenya Railways.
"Pending the hearing and determination of this Application Inter partes, a conservatory order be issued restraining Maingi, whether by himself, his agents, servants, appointees or any person acting under his direction, from occupying, holding himself out as, representing himself as, or exercising any of the powers, duties and functions of the office of Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Kenya Railways Corporation," Justice Makau ordered.
