• Judge thus ordered the petitioner, Kenya Young Parliamentarian Association to serve Wambui with court papers ahead of the next mention on November 14.
• Justice Hellen Wasilwa allowed their application and suspended the gazette notice that appointed her into office.
The Employment and Labour Relations court has extended orders suspending the appointment of Mary Wambui to the National Employment Authority.
The extension of the orders by Justice Stephen Radido come after Wambui submitting through her lawyer that she is yet to be served with court papers.
The presiding judge thus ordered the petitioner, Kenya Young Parliamentarian Association to serve Wambui with court papers ahead of the next mention on November 14.
Last month, the same court suspended the appointment of the former after the Kenya Young Parliamentarians Association moved to court to block the former legislator from taking office.
Justice Hellen Wasilwa allowed their application and suspended the gazette notice that appointed her into office.
In the case, KYPA argues that the qualifications of a person to be appointed the chairperson of the authority are provided in the National Employment Authority Act.
It provides that one should have at least seven years' experience in Human Resource Management or its equivalent.
They claim Wambui is not qualified under the law, policy and best practice, adding that the qualifications are mandatory.
Through lawyer Duncan Akhulia, they allege that Wambui has - on several occasions - personally admitted that she possesses a limited educational background "which makes her unqualified and unsuitable to conduct the affairs of the Authority".
They further said there is no other law upon which the Labour CS can base his decision to appoint Wambui other than the provisions the National Employment Authority Act.
