• The case concerns Tender No. KGN-SALE-005-2025 for the sale of Certified Emission Reductions (CERs), or carbon credits.
• The ruling emphasizes that due diligence must verify existing information and cannot impose fresh conditions, upholding principles of fairness and transparency in public procurement.

The Court of Appeal has upheld a finding that Consolidated Bank of Kenya unfairly dismissed a senior employee, ruling the bank failed to follow its disciplinary procedures and lacked valid grounds for termination.

• The case involved former Business Development Officer Eustace Muchigiri Njuguna and his summary dismissal in June 2014.
• Key procedural breaches included the Head of Human Resources signing the dismissal letter instead of the Chief Executive Officer, as required by the bank's HR Manual.

• Key parties involved include Jadiah Mwarania, the Kenya Re board, and the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury.
• The ruling reaffirms that fixed-term contracts do not automatically guarantee renewal.
