The bitter war pitting LSK president Nelson Havi and CEO Mercy Wambua is far from over.
This is after Wambua sued Havi, seeking to bar him from pushing her out of office.
Wambua on Tuesday obtained a court order stopping the society's special AGM slated for this Saturday. Among the agenda for the meeting was to start the process of recruiting Wambua's replacement.
The order, restraining Havi and others from convening the meeting, was issued by the Employment and Labour Relations Court.
The struggle for control of the society started in September when LSK’s council suspended Wambua on claims of gross misconduct and abuse of office. The council, however, decided in a 9-3 vote to reinstate her.
Havi alongside two other council members, however, insist that Wambua is no longer the society’s CEO, often referring to her as “the former secretary.”
But in the case certified urgent by judge Nzioka wa Makau, Wambua complains that Havi and others have been harassing her through a litany of letters, social media posts and media interviews.
In court documents, Wambua said Havi had written to CASA Security, the company that guards the entity's Gitanga Road premises, to bar her from accessing the office.
She also says that he instructed Barclays Bank and Standard Chartered Bank's Harambee Avenue Branch to debar her from accessing the society's account as one of the signatories.
Inter-parties hearing of the case is slated for December 4.
