Facts

Judicial Service Commission (JSC) terminated Peter Kipkemoi Kisang's employment unfairly. The Employment and Labour Relations Court (ELRC) ordered his reinstatement and payment of unpaid salary, allowances, and benefits.

Issues

  1. Whether the appeal is arguable
  2. Whether the appeal would be rendered nugatory if the judgment is not stayed

Reasoning
