The Employment and Labour Relations Court has upheld the dismissal of Java House’s former Chief Operating Officer (COO) Leonard Mudachi on account of redundancy nearly 10 years ago, citing lack of evidence to support his claims that he signed the exit package under duress.
At the same time, the court directed that he be paid $208,293.75 (Sh26.9 million) being the value of his shares at Nairobi Java House Limited and Java House (Mauritius) Limited Long-Term Incentive Plan scheme.
