The Milimani Court has issued a conservatory order preventing the suspension of Roy Sasaka Telewa as Chief Executive Officer of the National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF).
Lady Justice Jemima Wanza Keli on January 13, 2026, directed that no action should be taken to suspend, remove, or terminate Telewa while the case filed by the CEO is pending. The court also barred any board meetings or appointments aimed at replacing him.
“Pending the hearing of this application, the court is pleased to issue a temporary conservatory order restraining the respondents from suspending, removing, terminating, or interfering with the petitioner’s lawful tenure and functions as Chief Executive Officer,” the order reads.
The case is scheduled for hearing on January 21, 2026.
The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) had recommended Telewa’s suspension on January 12 in a letter sent to Gender Cabinet Secretary Hanna Cheptumo, with copies to Head of Public Service Felix Koskei and the NGAAF Board Chair.
In the letter, EACC stated that it is investigating Telewa for alleged violations of Chapter Six of the Constitution and offences under the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act, the Proceeds of Crime and Anti-Money Laundering Act (POCAMLA), and the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act.
The allegations include possession of unexplained wealth, abuse of office, conflict of interest, and money laundering.
As part of the investigation, EACC, acting under a court-issued warrant, conducted searches at Telewa’s residence and office on January 8, 2026, recovering documents and other information deemed incriminating.
The Commission had recommended a six-month suspension to ensure the investigation proceeds without interference. However, the court order now prevents this suspension until the matter is heard.
