The High Court in Nairobi on Tuesday dismissed a case filed by a military officer from the Kenya Defence Forces who sued the Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) lamenting unfair dismissal.

In court papers, the officer claimed that he was unlawfully dismissed from the force in 2014 arguing that it was a witch hunt lodged against him.

He alleged that his dismissal stemmed from his refusal to buy cigarettes for one of the individuals who later reported him.

Additionally, the officer told the court that KDF dismissed him from service after accusing him of allegedly authoring and distributing leaflets in the form of anonymous letters concerning Kenya Batallion's (KENBAT) selection.
