Court puts brakes on bid to oust Milemba as Kuppet chairman Education 21 min ago

The Employment and Labour Relations Court has put on hold a petition challenging the election of Kuppet national chairman and Emuhaya MP Jeremiah Omboko Milemba, ruling that the dispute cannot proceed before the determination of an earlier case touching on the same issues.

Delivering the ruling on August 17, 2026, Justice Mbaru said that although the petition arose from Kuppet elections held on April 18, 2026, it raised “the same issues of alleged conflict of interest” already before the court in earlier proceedings.

She told the court that the petition was a trade union election dispute governed by strict timelines and should not be delayed because of ordinary constitutional petitions and labour causes filed earlier.
