When oil company Tollow hired Lynnet Kathure on March 1, 2012, as its human resource manager for its Nairobi office, she was such an excellent employee that it seconded her to move to West London as a human resource projects and analytics Lead.

However, there was an issue regarding the company's policy, which stated that short-term assignments abroad would last between three and 12 months but were reserved for single individuals.

According to the document, those on short-term assignments were entitled to 50 Euros (Sh7,447).

On the other hand, those with families would enjoy benefits as those of long-term assignees.
