The High Court has ordered Kenyatta National Hospital to reinstate a nurse it interdicted for allegedly planning a strike at the institution six years ago. Employment and Labour Relations Court judge Byram Ongaya ruled that the interdiction of Stephen Kaburia by the Staff Disciplinary and Advisory Committee was unlawful. His sacking letter was issued by Justus Kimathi for allegedly calling the employees of the KNH board on strike. Kaburia argued that Kimathi had no legal mandate to write the interdiction letter and as such the disciplinary process arising from that letter was unlawful. Further, neither the KNH board nor a committee duly constituted by the hospital sanctioned the interdiction, he maintained.
