The Employment and Labour Relations Court has upheld the sacking of a lecturer accused of sexual harassment by inappropriately touching female students, hugging them suggestively, and using uncomfortable terms to address them, such as “darling” and “sweetheart.”

The court said that Oshwal College in Nairobi had a valid and fair reason for terminating the employment of Benard Nyamamba Mauti in May 2023 on grounds of gross misconduct.
