Holding
The court found that the Claimant was not unlawfully dismissed and that he was not entitled to the reliefs sought.
Facts
The Claimant was a prison officer who was offered a position as Sergeant-at-Arms by the County Assembly Service Board. He was later confirmed into the employment of the County Assembly Service Board on permanent and pensionable terms. However, he was later transferred back to the Prisons Service due to a secondment expiration.
Issues
- Whether the position was advertised, and the interview was done before the Claimant was absorbed?
- Whether the Claimant was on secondment?
- Whether the claimant’s departmental transfer from the prison services to the Nyamira County Assembly was effected?
- Whether the claimant was unfairly terminated?
- Whether the claimant is entitled to the reliefs sought?
- Who should pay the costs of the suit?
Reasoning
The court determined that the Claimant was not on secondment and that his transfer back to the Prisons Service was due to a secondment expiration, not an unfair dismissal.
Outcome
The appeal was dismissed.
