Holding

The termination was unfair and wrongful.

Facts

The claimants were security guards employed by the respondent at Mombasa maize millers until 30/9/2015 when their services were terminated. The respondent claimed the termination was due to redundancy, but the claimants argued it was unfair.

Issues

  1. Was the termination of the claimants' services unfair?
  2. Was the termination process fair?

Reasoning

The court found the termination was without a valid reason and not following due process, thus rendering it unfair. The claimants were not laid off based on redundancy but because they were assigned to work at Mombasa maize millers.

Outcome

Judgment for the claimants in the aggregate sum of ksh.1,417,500 plus costs and interest.
