Employment and labour law [2026] KEELRC 2268 (KLR)

Board of Directors, Migori County Water & Sanitation Company Ltd v Okeyo (Appeal E008 of 2025)

Board of Directors, Migori County Water & Sanitation Company Ltd v Okeyo (Appeal E008 of 2025) [2026] KEELRC 2268 (KLR) (31 July 2026) (Judgment)

Court
Employment and Labour Relations Court
Case number
Appeal E008 of 2025
Judge
["Nzioki wa Makau"]

The appellate court held that the dismissal was procedurally unfair because the disciplinary committee had been constituted before the respondent's explanation was considered, showing a predetermined process inconsistent with section 41 of the Employment Act. However, the court found the award of severance pay unsustainable because no severance claim had been made and substituted it with gratuity of Kshs. 410,750/= as provided by clause 2 of the employment contract. The leave allowance award was upheld because the employer failed to produce leave records within its control.

Magangi v Brinks Security Services Limited

Magangi v Brinks Security Services Limited (Employment and Labour Relations Appeal E046 of 2024) [2026] KEELRC 1378 (KLR) (22 May 2026) (Judgment)

Court
Employment and Labour Relations Court
Case number
Employment and Labour Relations Appeal E046 of 2024
Judge
["AN Mwaure"]

The court upheld the finding of unfair termination for redundancy because the respondent failed to comply with section 40 of the Employment Act, but it rejected most additional monetary claims for want of proof. It held that pre-2018 underpayment was time-barred, yet the underpayment claim should have covered one year rather than six months, so the award was revised accordingly. The court also refused house allowance and other allowance-based claims because the appellant produced no supporting documents. The appeal succeeded only in part, resulting in revised awards and costs to the appellant.
