also went ahead to inform the employees that their last day at work was…………….
3. We do hereby bring to your attention that the purported notice doesn’t constitute to a legal
employment termination notice as envisaged under the provisions of law under Employment

TAKE NOTE that your purported NOTICE OF TERMINATION OF CONTRACT is not only illegal and unprocedural but also unconstitutional. It contradicts all the provisions of law envisaged in Labour laws

Conventions ratified by Kenya.

final dues including severance allowance, salary in lieu of notice and all outstanding allowances

then client will vigorously and effectively contest in the courts of law through the laid down
provisions. And it shall be at your own peril as to costs and other incidental issues arisingthereto.
