A former customer care representative at Safaricom has been awarded Sh2.5 million for pain and suffering after she was retired on medical grounds in October 2012.

Justice James Rika ruled that the telco acted negligently, as the company did not provide Eva Bessy Kathambi with safe call devices and a safe system of work when she worked at the call centre.
