The High Court in Nakuru has ordered Naivas Supermarket to pay Sh122,706 for sacking its employee who was selling cakes and cookies in breach of the conflict-of-interest clause in his contract.
Naivas terminated Peter Muthoka after it accused him of selling cakes and cookies, which posed competition to the supermarket.
Muthoka was awarded Sh904,654 by Chief Magistrate Christine Menya as compensation for unfair termination and terminal benefits.
However, upon appeal by Naivas, Justice James Rika set aside the award and ordered the supermarket to pay Muthoka Sh122,706, being terminal benefits.
