Former director sues Change.Org, cites unfair dismissal

Muthoni now wants the court to declare that her rights were violated and the outsourcing firm and its agents compelled to pay her 12 months’ salary amounting to Ksh.11.7 million, insurance cover of Ksh.5.4 million and personal loan insurance for 13 months of Ksh.14 million.

The former country director says that she was employed in 2022 but was fired in February 2023, arguing that she was not given reasons for the redundancy of her job as required by law, thereby infringing on her rights.

According to Muthoni, her ejection from the company was intentionally orchestrated to replace her with a man.

Employment and Labour Relations Court Judge Byram Ongaya directed Muthoni to serve Change.Org and its agents by mail . This is after the court was told that Muthoni’s lawyers cannot effect service to the firm without the court's nod.

LTSDL KYA Solutions Ltd, an outsourcing company registered in Kenya, DEEL Ke, an agent of DEEL INC, a multinational based in California, and Change.Org have been named as respondents in the case.
