Court rejects ex-Safaricom worker’s claim after dismissal over medical fraud

Kenya’s Employment and Labour Relations Court rejected former Safaricom employee Lynette Oduor’s claim for Sh35 million. She had been dismissed over the alleged misuse of the company’s medical insurance benefits. The court found that Safaricom had valid grounds for the dismissal and followed a fair disciplinary process. It also dismissed her claims of unfair termination, discrimination and additional payments.
