A prominent Nairobi private hospital has been ordered to pay Ksh72.9 million to a former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for unfair dismissal. This ruling by the Employment and Labour Relations Court follows similar large payouts by the hospital for wrongful termination.

• Ksh72.9 million awarded to the former CEO for summary dismissal in 2019 deemed unjustified.
• The hospital was found to have violated Sections 41, 43 and 45 of the Employment Act, lacking substantive and procedural fairness.
• This payout adds to previous awards, including Ksh100 million to another former CEO in August and Ksh206 million to a different ex-CEO, highlighting a pattern of wrongful terminations at the institution.
