The Court found that the Claimant did not face a hostile working environment and voluntarily retired early, thus not constructively dismissed.
Facts
Claimant Joseph Nyamira Ombega was employed by Nairobi Water & Sewerage Company as a Marketing Assistant from June 1998. He resigned on January 29, 2016, citing hostile and unsafe working conditions, and claimed constructive dismissal. The Respondent granted his early retirement request.
Issues

- whether the Claimant merits the remedies pleaded
Reasoning
The Court determined that the land-grabbing allegations were not related to the Respondent and were not a hostile working environment. The tryst between the Claimant's wife and Shikuku was not facilitated by the Respondent and did not create a hostile environment. The Claimant's request for financial assistance was not denied by the Respondent.
Outcome
The Court dismissed the claim.
