Nation Media ordered to pay its former journalist Sh347,000 for unfair dismissal

2024 - Court precedence on unfair treatment of journalists in Kenya by Media houses

Nation Media ordered to pay its former journalist Sh347,000 for unfair dismissal Employment and Labour Relations Court Judge Monica Mbaru sitting in Malindi said the appeal by Charles Lwanga, is successful and has merit, and ordered the giant media house to pay for the costs of the suit. The judge further directed Nation Media Group to compensate Ksh261,000 to the former reporter who currently works with the National Government as an Assistant County Commissioner (ACC), Ksh43,000 for dismissal without notice and another Ksh43,000 for leave allowance. In 2021, Charles Lwanga, then working with Nation Media Group as a Correspondent for Print (Daily Nation, Taifa Leo, East African and Business Daily) in Kilifi County, moved to court after he was unfairly dismissed from employment, a day after his one of his political stories hit the media headline. During that time, it was alleged that the fearless bi-linguist reporter might have been pushed out of the newsroom for publishing political stories that did not impress some politicians and ‘politically implanted editors’.
