Facts

Hilda Kaari Mwendwa was employed by Agricultural Finance Corporation and transferred to Muranga Branch offices. She appealed the transfer but was unsuccessful. She then stayed away from duty for 10 days and her services were terminated.

Issues

  1. Whether the applicant's intended appeal is arguable and with good prospects of success.
  2. Whether the applicant has a credible and reasonable explanation for the delay in filing the Notice of Appeal.
  3. Whether the court has discretion to extend time for filing the Notice of Appeal.
  4. Whether the applicants were never served with the Notice of delivery of the Judgment.

Reasoning

The applicant did not offer a credible explanation for the delay and the intended appeal is not arguable.

Outcome

Appeal dismissed
