Procedural Posture

Employment Cause / Interlocutory Application Ruling

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the Attorney-General should be granted more time to respond to the Claimant's application.
  2. 2 Whether the Principal Secretary should be compelled to transmit the Claimant's Integrated Personal Payroll Data to the Commissioner General of Kenya Prisons.

Ratio Decidendi

The court found that the Attorney-General was served with the application but failed to respond within the required period and did not provide any good reason for the delay. Consequently, the court rejected the Attorney-General's request for more time. The court further ordered the Principal Secretary of the State Department of Interior to transmit the Claimant's Integrated Personal Payroll Data to the Commissioner General of Kenya Prisons within 30 days, as the Claimant's entitlement to this administrative action was not substantively contested. The remaining issues were reserved for determination in the main claim, and the Respondent was directed to file its reply within 30 days.

Court Disposition

interlocutory orders granted in favour of claimant; respondent's application for extension of time rejected

Orders

  • The Attorney-General's application for more time to respond is rejected.
  • The Principal Secretary of the State Department of Interior shall within 30 days transmit the Claimant's Integrated Personal Payroll Data to the Commissioner General of Kenya Prisons.
