Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>A Mombasa-based lobby group has distanced itself from reports that junior officers from the county\u2019s health department were unlawfully transferred.<\/p>\n

In a statement on Saturday, Capital Youth Caucus retracted from it earlier statement accusing the acting Health chief officer Pauline Oginga of unlawful transfers.<\/p>\n

The group said that after an in-depth analysis of the matter, it had established that the transfers made were within the confines of the law.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have learnt that more than 70 officers were transferred to different departments as per the normal procedure of the Country Laws,\u201d the lobby group\u2019s secretary general Evans Momanyi said.<\/p>\n

\u201cTherefore allegations made by the affected junior officers were a plan orchestrated to malign their senior officer out of frustration with no legal basis.\u201d<\/p>\n

Capital Youth Caucus said it had disregarded the evidence provided to them which it said had been stolen from a private file in the Human resource office, which is against the Employment Act and Labour laws.<\/p>\n

In an earlier statement, the group had demanded the reinstatement of the officers that were alleged to have been unlawfully transferred.<\/p>\n

The group in a letter seen by the Star had also accused the chief officer of harassing the junior officers.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs an organization established under the laws of Kenya we hereby distance ourselves from the reports shared by Everlyne Awour. We hereby issue our sincere apology to Ms. Pauline A. Oginga for any damage caused to her by the utterances by our Secretary General,\u201d reads the statement in part.<\/p>\n
