🔴🔴BREAKING FROM ELRC: Sexual Suggestive Memes, Jokes and WhatsApp Messages at the Workplace Amount to Sexual Harassment
Many employees endure uncomfortable workplaces in silence - the late-night WhatsApp messages from a boss, sexually suggestive memes disguised as “just jokes”, inappropriate familiarity masked as workplace culture. In RAO v O L & Another (2025), the ELRC confronted this reality head-on. A female employee began receiving sexually suggestive WhatsApp messages, TikTok videos, and inappropriate communication from her CEO. What started as “casual” interactions soon became uncomfortable and distressing. She later resigned, stating the working environment had become unbearable. The employer argued she had left voluntarily. But the Court looked beyond the resignation letter and examined the power dynamics, the digital messages, and the psychological toll. It found that what seemed like a resignation was actually an employee pushed out of a toxic workplace.
Justice S. C. Rutto delivered a ground-breaking finding: Sexual harassment does not have to be physical. The Court held that sexually suggestive memes, jokes, and WhatsApp communications from a superior to a junior employee amount to sexual harassment under Section 6 of the Employment Act. The judge emphasized that such conduct creates a hostile and intimidating work environment, especially where there is a power imbalance. The Court further clarified that an employee in such circumstances does not need to prove criminal wrongdoing; establishing harassment on a balance of probabilities is sufficient in employment disputes. In the end, the Court found constructive dismissal and awarded the employee Kshs 1,320,000 in compensation.
This is a major warning to employers and a huge relief for ordinary Kenyan workers. The Court has now confirmed that workplace harassment can happen on WhatsApp, through memes, or “harmless jokes.” If those actions make the workplace intolerable, the law treats resignation as constructive dismissal, and compensation follows. The message from the Employment Court is loud and clear: Workplace professionalism does not end at the office door; it extends to your phone, your jokes, and your memes.

🚨 There’s a SACCO bill in Parliament today, and most Kenyans don’t even know what’s coming.
Quietly... with almost no public attention…
A system is being introduced that will centralize SACCO money, and Govt will now have a massive say in it.
Think of it as a “Super SACCO” for all SACCOs.
It will:
- Hold funds from different SACCOs
- Manage liquidity
- Run payments
- Lend to SACCOs
- Invest your money
Sounds safe? Here’s the reality:
❗ SACCOs could lose some operational independence
❗ Oversight becomes much heavier (via Sacco Societies Regulatory Authority)
❗ Leaders must meet “fit & proper” approval
❗ Strict reporting & constant supervision
And yes, this could mean slower access to your money in some situations.
Now the part they won’t emphasize:
Your savings are only protected up to KSh 100,000
If a SACCO collapses?
Anything above that = your risk.
Even worse:
⚠️ Payouts are NOT immediate
⚠️ Must be approved & gazetted first
⚠️ You could wait while your money is locked
So ask yourself:
Why centralize SACCO money...
But limit protection for members?
This bill is being sold as “safety.”
But it also introduces control by the government, delays, and new risks for ordinary Kenyans.
This is how systems change,
slowly, quietly... then permanently

Trevor: “You once said Luos are chaotic and uproot railway lines… did you actually say that?”
Rigathi: “Yes, I did.”
Trevor: “Why would you say that?”
Rigathi: “At the time, I was in a choir… and that’s what our choir master told us to sing.” 😅
Trevor: “So do you still believe that now?”
Rigathi: “Ah… now I’m in a different choir… and I’m the choir master.” 😂😅
Hii mtu ni Mau Mau kweli bana, I give up 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The legend in this photo is called Dark Prescott. He plays the NFL as a quarterback. He is worth $300 million, which is about Ksh. 39 billion. He had a girlfriend, and they wanted to get married this month (Eloi,, Hizo nyondoos si nimusurii aki ya ngai). Our boy knew ladies take advantage of marriage by fleecing men financially during divorce. For this reason, he asked her to sign a prenup.
She comes to his life but if they separate, ajuwe anatoka matako wazi. She should not start demanding for his wealth if she wants divorce. The lady refused to sign. The guy told her to go & look for another mumu man.
The wedding had already been planned. The guy cancelled it yesterday. If any lady wants to get married to him, she should know that she is coming to be a wife, and she is not entitled to his Ksh. 39 billion.
This is a landmark decision. Men in developed countries are taking a different direction. Twitter top lawyer @AssociatesRoba was telling me that PRENUP is not a new thing. It has always been there. The unfair court decisions after divorce are the ones making men realize its importance.
I wish I knew about the PRENUP before going into that thing called Mareej. Today, I would still be having my 32gb memory card, Sayona woofer & my fubu shirt that Mama Liam inherited forcefully after our chaotic separation. Ni mbaya,, PUT STONE!🥲

💣🔴🚨THEY CANNOT BLOCK YOUR PENSION BECAUSE YOU WERE CHARGED: COURT EXPLODES COUNTY DELAY TACTIC
The Employment and Labour Relations Court at Nakuru has finally snapped in John Ngigi Daniel v County Government of Nyandarua. A public officer was interdicted in 2018 after being charged with abuse of office. He was parked on half salary for nearly five years. No disciplinary hearing. No conclusion. Just limbo. When he hit retirement age in July 2023, the County pulled a familiar stunt: "we can’t process your pension until your criminal case ends." The trick was to hold his personal file hostage. No file, no pension. No pension, no life.
Justice Anna Ngibuini Mwaure was not amused. The Court held that prolonged interdiction without resolution is an unfair labour practice, and that continuing to withhold salary arrears and pension after retirement is unconstitutional. Once you retire, pension crystallizes. It becomes property. You do not negotiate with it. You do not delay it. And you certainly do not weaponize a personal file to punish an employee through bureaucracy. The County’s conduct violated the right to property and fair labour practices. Full stop.
The orders were brutal. Pay the entire pension. Pay all withheld salary arrears. Add KSh 3 million in constitutional damages. Then load 14% interest until payment. The message is sharp and uncomfortable: public employers are not allowed to keep employees in disciplinary purgatory, then deny them dignity at retirement. Criminal cases are not an excuse. “Awaiting clearance” is not law. And your pension is not a favour from the State. It is your money. The era of file-holding games just got very expensive.
