Judge orders oil marketer to pay ex-manager Sh8 million for unfair dismissal
The law says that a termination is unfair if the employer fails to prove the reason for termination is based on a fair reason related to either the employee's conduct, capacity, or compatibility, or based on the operational requirements of the employer.
Regional oil marketer Lexo Energy Kenya Limited has been ordered by the Employment and Labour Relations Court to pay its former head of retail Sh8 million as compensation for unfair termination based on unsubstantiated reasons.
The employee, Sammy Maundu, was terminated in March 2024 because of “an irretrievable breakdown in the working relationship with the company”, a reason that the Labour Relations court said is unknown in employment law.
