Holding
The applicant has an arguable appeal and the stay of execution is granted.
Facts
John Omole Owuor was employed by the Teachers Service Commission and later seconded to Technical University of Kenya as a senior lecturer. He petitioned the Employment and Labour Relations Court after failing to be absorbed as a senior lecturer post-retirement.
Issues
- Whether the applicant (Technical University of Kenya) discriminated against the respondent (John Omole Owuor) by failing to absorb him into its administration when he retired.
- Whether the applicant has an arguable appeal that would be rendered nugatory if the stay of execution is not granted.
Reasoning
The court found that the applicant failed to explain why it failed to reinstate the respondent despite doing the same for other lecturers, thus discriminating against him. The applicant has an arguable appeal with a high chance of success.
Outcome
Grant of stay of execution pending appeal
Orders
- Injunction and stay of proceedings sought in the motion shall extend to the hearing and determination of the appeal.
