Justice Stella Rutto ruled that the manner in which the hospital treated the three employees was unfair. [Courtesy]A judge has ordered a hospital to compensate two employees it sacked for reporting late to work after being caught up in traffic. The traffic, the court heard, was caused by former First Lady Lucy Kibaki’s funeral convoy. Employment and Labour Relations Court Judge Stella Rutto ordered Bliss Healthcare Limited to compensate Lucy Wanja and Augustine Sitati for unfairly sacking them on May 7, 2016. The claimants are entitled to compensation equivalent to four months’ salary and one-month salary in lieu of notice,” Rutto said.
