The Labour Court has ordered Keroche Breweries to pay its former Managing Director Sh45 million for unfair termination of employment.
In a dispute that has lasted in court for the last three years, Labour Court judge Hellen Wasilwa ordered the brewer to pay Sam Shollei the money after finding that he was sacked without a basis. At the same time, the judge found that there was no hearing conducted before the firm issued him with a termination letter. Justice Wasilwa had in total awarded Shollei Sh52 million. She, however, deducted Sh7 million which he was paid immediately Keroche dismissed him.
