Nyandarua County Government has been ordered by the Employment and Labour Relations Court in Nakuru to pay Ksh.30 million to three former County Executive Committee members (CECs) for wrongful dismissal.
Justice Hellen Wasilwa delivered the judgement on Tuesday, noting that the county government violated the rights of the three former CECs; Simon Ng’ang’a, Faith Mbugua and Muthoni Wamuiya.
Each former CEC will receive a compensation of Ksh.10 million.
Simon Ng’ang’a was in charge of Water and Environment, Faith Mbugua was in charge of Education while Muthoni Wamuiya headed the Industrialization and Trade department.
Governor Kimemia failed to renew their contracts, thereby dismissing them.
The three former CECs moved to court to challenge their dismissal which they termed as illegal and a violation of their right to fair administrative practices.
According to them, the governor’s action was wrong and unfair as they learned of it through the media.
