Kimathi v Meru University of Science & Technology

Kimathi v Meru University of Science & Technology [2025] KEELRC 1113 (KLR)

The claimant was unfairly treated and discriminated against by the respondent through arbitrary deployment amounting to demotion, unlawful withholding of her salary, and inconsistent application of the terms of service regarding gratuity. While her fixed-term contract expired automatically and non-renewal was discretionary, the respondent's actions during her employment and the non-payment of entitled benefits constituted violations of her constitutional and contractual rights, necessitating an award for gratuity, unutilized leave, and general damages for unfair treatment and discrimination.
