The Court Order Blocking the scheduled job interviews at KCCA
High Court has blocked the scheduled interviews for Kampala Capital
City Authority-KCCA.
The Assistant Court Registrar for Civil Division of High Court Joy Kabagye issued
an interim order blocking the interviews that were supposed to be held on September, 30th.
The order was granted following an application filed by the Human Resource
Officer at KCCA, Paul Kasulu.
This was after KCCA on June 6th 2019 advertised more than 200 jobs
following a directive from the Public Service Commission Chairperson, Justice
Ralph Ochan on April 18, 2019.
According to the advert, temporary workers at KCCA (those on Local Contracts),
where Kasulu belongs are not legible to apply for the jobs in question even
though it was their job being advertised.
This forced Kasulu to petition the Civil Division of High Court to defend
his inherent human rights.
In his application, Kasulu argued that it is discriminatory,
unconstitutional and unacceptable in free and democratic society for the
temporary employees to be denied a chance to apply for the advertised jobs.
On Wednesday, Kabagye declined the requests of the respondents and instead
allowed the interim application pending hearing of the main application.
The main application is before Justice Lydia Mugambe and it’s
scheduled for hearing on October 22nd, 2019.
"The Applicant (Kasulu) shall remain working in his
position with KCCA on temporary terms until the main application number
is disposed off", reads the order in part.
It
also adds that jobs advertised by the Public Service Commission should be halted
until the case is disposed of.
