The Labour Court in Nairobi has halted the transfers of more than 190 police officers from Narok East police stations.
In its ruling on Tuesday, the Labour Court issued temporary orders stopping the transfer of the 194 officers pending the determination and hearing of their case.
Memba Ocharo had moved to court to challenge the order NPS issued through the Director of Operations William Yiampoi.
Appearing before Justice Nduma Nderi on Tuesday through his lawyer Danstan Omari, Ocharo urged the court to revoke what he termed as abrupt and punitive transfers.
Additionally, he informed the court that the transfers of officers serving at Duka Moja and Ntulele police stations were against the Service Standing Orders.
”I want to assure you that by Monday, we will have transferred all the officers and replaced them with a new batch,” Yiampoi announced during a visit to the area.
The officers were transferred after residents of Narok County around Duka Moja and Ntulele protested on January 17 blocking the Nairobi Suswa Mahi Mahiu Highway for more than 24 hours.
