A former employee at Gebeya Limited has filed a case at the Milimani Law Court seeking over Ksh.10 million as general damages for allegedly terminating her services.
Rachel Mumbe Nyamai says that she was unlawfully dismissed and not paid her contractual dues and entitlements.
According to the court papers, she says that in 2020, the company approached her to collaborate with them as a consultant to establish a marketing department which she did.
She argues that she was offered employment as the Director of Sales and Business Development.
“The claimant dutifully and satisfactorily performed her duties as the Director of Sales and Business Development at the Respondent and in accordance with the employment contract,” she claims in her letter.
However, she claims that despite her diligence and achieving a rapid increase in product sales and significantly improving the company’s annual revenue, the company CEO allegedly undermined and frustrated her service thereby creating unreasonable working conditions.
“The respondents displayed a persistent pattern of undermining the claimant’s contributions and encouraged the use of derogatory language and insults…” she claims.
