@dropdalot saddest part of this video is that in the back ground there are school children- the future of our country/society- what are we showing them-what does our future look like?
🚨 Can your employer transfer you across the country just months before you retire, after decades at the same station, and with no good reason given?
The case concerned Philip Mulogosi, a chief technician who had worked for Kenya Pipeline Company in Eldoret for over 32 years, building not just a career but a life there. With about 18 months to retirement, and after completing the company’s pre-retirement training and preparing his home and social life in Eldoret for life after work, he was transferred to Nairobi. He went to the Employment and Labour Relations Court, which quashed the transfer.
The court held it was against the employee’s legitimate expectation that he would be consulted before retirement and would not be punished without due process. An employer’s power to transfer staff is not unlimited; it must be exercised fairly.
Since the company gave no compelling reason for moving him, refused to reconsider despite repeated appeals, and had itself kept him at the same station his entire career, the transfer amounted to an unfair labour practice. The court quashed the transfer letter and prohibited the company from enforcing it or taking disciplinary action over it. It also noted that his system access and work credentials had been disabled despite interim court orders preserving the position, itself a serious concern.
The balance the law strikes is important. Employers legitimately need the power to deploy staff where the business requires. But that power cannot be used arbitrarily, punitively, or without consultation, particularly against an employee on the threshold of retirement, and a transfer with no genuine business justification can be struck down as unfair.

Open Morality Letter to KeNHA DG Eng. Luka Kipchumba Kimeli
Two dates matter here.
The day UoN accepted you for Civil Engineering.
And February 17, 2026 when @KeNHAKenya made you DG.
I imagine your parents wept with joy.
I imagine engineering legends like Tesla and Edison crossed your mind.
I imagine “I’ll change the world like they did.” Has been in your mind as an engineer.
Then fate handed you exactly that chance. The KeNHA board said you’re the one.
So here’s my moral question to you.
Your contractor on Chiromo Road to Westlands roundabout scraped the old tarmac, laid new road, then stopped DEAD at his contract boundary.
And Didn’t cross ONE inch past it.
They left a 4 meter unrepaired ditch right at the Westlands roundabout joining road that they dugout themselves.
Let me show you what 4 meters means:
4 lanes × 3.5m × 4m = 56m²
56 square meters is holding all of Westlands hostage daily.
A deliberate move so the contractor can pressure KeNHA for more contract miles.
Meanwhile innocent kenyan taxpayers pay with their time, fuel and sanity every single day.
I won’t call you corrupt. No.
But I will call you inept. And I will call this moral bankruptcy.
UoN made you an engineer. KeNHA made you DG.
You have to make you decent, decent enough to know this is wrong and unacceptable.
And before you imagine I was sent by Wamunyoro or anyone else, I wasn’t.
I’m just a decent citizen who believes if I sat in your chair, I wouldn’t let this stand.
Moral citizenry costs nothing.
This was only a morality tweet.
Approaching 12 years in the tourism business with Stejos Tours, and the last 24 months have easily been the hardest.
Running a tour company right now means waking up to unpredictable park fees, sudden license increases from 8,000 to 21,500 KES, shifting statutory demands, and soaring fuel costs.
@Kenyans on this occassion- the champion, the president and the CS should have worn the kenyan tracksuit !!! @magicalkenya hapa you have dropped the ball!!
