A sacked partner at a top audit firm, Ernst & Young (EY) Kenya, has lost a bid to have 14 of his former colleagues fined and jailed for court contempt over a salary row, pending determination of a case in which he is seeking over Sh450 million for unfair termination.
Mr Laban Gathungu wanted all 14 partners fined at least Sh20 million each for contempt of court and two of them —Mr Gitahi Gachahi and Mr Herbert Chiveli Wasike —a jailed for six months for disobeying court orders.
