The Employment and Labour Relations Court in Nairobi has affirmed a Non-Governmental Organisation's (NGO's) to fire a female manager for sexually harassing her colleague.

Justice Benard Manani, in his judgment, said that the NGO, codenamed TF, was justified in kicking out its former employee, identified as WNN, through internal processes without involving the police.
