The Employment and Labour Relations Court has upheld a decision by East Africa Breweries Limited (EABL) to sack an employee who admitted ferrying a Sh300,000 bribe from a distributor to a colleague within the giant brewer’s finance department.
The court ruled that Samwel Wachira’s conduct breached the company’s Code of Business Conduct and justified his summary dismissal.
