The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission CEO Ezra Chiloba has received a major boost after the Employment and Labour Relations Court on Thursday allowed him to go back to work.
The court ruled Chiloba is free to resume his position at Anniversary Towers pending the hearing and determination of an application he filed challenging the decision that ordered him to go on compulsory leave.
Chiloba was sent on a three-month compulsory leave in April to make way for an audit at the commission.
“The commission’s plenary meeting held on Friday April 6 received and discussed an audit report on some procurement matters. Subsequently, it was decided through a majority voting to expand audit scope and that the CEO proceeds on compulsory leave for a period of three months to enable conclusion of the audit,” IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati stated.
