Justice David Nderitu said the dismissal of Ms Apondi was fair and justified, since she was taken through a disciplinary process before a well-constituted panel and found culpable of the allegations.

The Employment and Labour Relations Court has upheld the decision of the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) to fire one of its staff at Malaba Busia border point, for receiving an inducement of Sh45,000 through proxy on M-Pesa.

Francisca Apondi allegedly received the cash to unprocedurally clear three trucks entering the country, with uncustomised goods without ascertaining whether the taxes due had been paid.
