Hearing of a case filed by a former Facebook content moderator against the American social media giant’s parent company, Meta, over alleged exploitation and poor working conditions at its Nairobi office failed to take off on Thursday due to absence of the firm’s lawyer.
The Employment and Labour Relations court was set to hear submissions from the parties in the lawsuit but Meta’s lawyer, Fred Ojiambo, said he was involved in a tribunal appointed by retired President Uhuru Kenyatta to investigate misconduct claims against suspended Judge Juma Chitembwe.
