The High Court has awarded the former head of the Intensive Care Unit and Medical Verification Officer at the Armed Forces Memorial Hospital nearly Sh7.26 million for wrongful dismissal from the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF).

Laban Nyambok, who held the rank of a Major before being court-martialled, will be entitled to Sh4 million in compensatory damages for unlawful dismissal and Sh3.11 million half salary that KDF withheld for 36 months he was tried.
