The Employment and Labour Relations Court has halted the appointment of Dr. Paul Wanyeki Machocho as the director-general of the Technical and Vocational Education and Training Authority (TVETA).

• The court issued a conservatory order to stay the decision pending a hearing on September 22.
• The case involves Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba, the Head of Public Service Felix Koskei, and petitioner Shem Osiemo Mokaya.
• The challenge centers on an Executive Circular requiring the Head of Public Service's concurrence for CEO appointments, which the petitioner argues unlawfully interferes with the statutory recruitment process outlined in the TVET Act.
