Ahmed (Chief Officer in charge of Health) was seeking reinstatement orders from the law courts.

The petitioners had asked the courts to permanently suspend their dismissal pending hearing and determining of the petition.

Governor Roba was accused of flouting Articles 47 and 50 of the Constitution and sections 31 and 40 of the County Government Act.

During their sacking, the governor said the changes he made were aimed at improving service delivery and to strengthen his Administration's focus on legacy projects.
