The National Police Service Commission and Police Inspector General Japhet Koome have been granted seven days to confer and achieve an agreement on police promotions.
This comes after Employment and Labour Relations Court Judge Byram Ongaya extended the orders suspending 514 officer promotions announced by IG Koome.
“I have a lot of faith in the parties; they have the capacity to guide governance in accordance with the constitution,” ordered the Judge.
The inspector general through his lawyer told the court that parties in the case are in the process of reconciling and what was remaining was signing and filling of the consent.
In the case, Senator Okiya Omtata moved to court to challenge the promotion of police officers by Koome.
Omtatah accused IG Koome of assuming the mandate of the National Police Service Commission in promoting the 514 police officers contrary to the Constitution.
