It is a big win for Migori county finance officer Samuel Omuga after receiving court orders reinstating him to his current position while quashing a compulsory leave.

On February 15, Omuga got the stay orders by judge Stephen Radido after moving to court the previous day.

The order are on effect until Monday February 21 after Omuga sued Migori County Public Service Board, Migori county government and governor Okoth Obado as first, second and third respondents respectively.

The Controller of Budget and Central Bank of Kenya were sued as first and second interested parties respectively.

Obado and others have until February 18 to file their resposnes with the court offering further directions on February 21 when the order expires.

On February 4, the board in letter by secretary Martin Arondo said Omuga has declined to honor summons on September 27 and October 19 last year to shed light on irregular engagement and payment of casuals.

The board said the standoff created incitement where casuals invaded their offices as Omuga “continued payment of casuals and/or contract employees who are only known to you without valid contract.”

Omuga was sent home for “thirty working days compulsory leave effective February 7 to pave way for investigations.”
