Holding
The claimant's resignation was not due to personal reasons, and the respondent did not lose money due to the claimant's actions.
Facts
The claimant, Nelson Agono Ogwaro, was employed by SGA Guarding Limited from 1996 to 2021. He resigned as General Manager Guarding due to personal reasons. The respondent failed to pay his terminal benefits and gratuity, totaling Kshs. 4,730,737.31. An audit revealed that the claimant had lost Kshs. 6,553,326.96 due to abuse of office.
Issues
- Whether the claimant resigned due to personal reasons
- Whether the respondent lost money due to the claimant's actions
Reasoning
The claimant's resignation was due to the audit findings of abuse of office, not personal reasons. The respondent's loss was due to discrepancies in billing and shift systems, not the claimant's actions.
Outcome
Claimant's appeal dismissed
