A number of properties belonging to Keroche Breweries are set for auction to recover Sh45 million awarded to former manager Sam Shollei for wrongful dismission from work.
The court ordered Keoche to pay Shollei the amount after ruling that his sack from the company did not follow legal procedures.
Employment and Labour Relations Court judge Hellen Wasilwa ruled that the company did not inform Shollei of the reason for the dismissal nor subject him to any disciplinary process when it fired him in 2018.
“As provided under Section 45(2) of the Employment Act 2007, the termination of the contract was unfair and unjustified,” the judge said.

The company, however, is yet to make payment for the money as ordered by the court.
