Employment and Labour Relations Court has affirmed the sacking of an international tea firm's manager over sexual misconduct.
Justice Anna Mwaure, in her judgment, said that there was evidence to show that the man we codenamed R C was involved in sexual harassment and the interference of witnesses during investigations. "There is evidence the Claimant used language in respect to witness no. 1 and witness no. 2 that had clear sexual connotations and so amounted to sexual harassment," said Justice Mwaure.
The man sued British-owned Lipton Teas and Infusions PLC (formerly Ekatera Tea Kenya Plc), claiming that he had been unfairly sacked on March 16, 2023.
He stated that he was employed as an assistant divisional manager, first on probation, and eventually confirmed on August 23, 2015.
