Holding

Facts
The appellant, Simon P.M. Karimi, was engaged by Kenya Commercial Bank (1st respondent) as an officer trainee. He was seconded to Savings and Loan (Kenya) Ltd (2nd respondent) and later transferred to the 1st respondent's Voi branch. The appellant refused to follow the transfer directive and was subsequently dismissed.
Issues
- Whether the dismissal was malicious and discriminatory
- Whether the appellant was given a fair hearing
Reasoning
The court finds that the appellant's dismissal was justified as he deserted his duty and appealed against the transfer, which was heard by the employer. The court also ruled that the appellant's case for discrimination was unfounded.
Outcome
Appeal dismissed
