Ģ��ƵAT Held or Ģ��ƵDT Pronouncements

Ģ��ƵAT held that the Appellants had raised neither factual differences nor legal issues different from those canvassed in companion cases and disposed of in judgment No. 2017-Ģ��ƵAT-750 (Kagizi et al.).

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

The Applicants contested the decisions not to renew their appointments on grounds of the abolition of their posts. Ģ��ƵDT found that the Applications were not receivable and the decisions were lawful.
