Senior employees in Kenya can now be held accountable for operational errors made by their subordinates, following a recent ruling by the Employment and Labour Relations Court in Nairobi.

• A team leader at a banking institution was dismissed for a Ksh48.18 million transaction error.
• The court ruled that the team leader held the primary responsibility for verifying the transaction.
• The judgment serves as a warning to senior employees about the consequences of operational failures under their supervision.
