Who Is Sitting on Your Disciplinary Panel?

A disciplinary process can look perfectly proper on paper and still be procedurally flawed.

In Okello v Kenya Airways Limited [2026] KEELRC 1005 (KLR), the Court considered the impartiality of a disciplinary panel where an employee’s supervisor, who was involved in the allegations, also sat on the panel that determined the matter.

The lesson for employers? It is not enough to have a disciplinary panel. The panel must also be impartial.

Before constituting your next disciplinary panel, ask yourself:

👉 Is anyone on the panel directly involved in the allegations?
👉 Has the person investigating the matter also been involved in making the decision?
👉 Is there a real possibility of bias?

A fair disciplinary process is not just about following the steps. Who makes the decision matters too.

Poor performance… against what standard? 👀

A PIP alone doesn’t automatically prove poor performance.

In Chira v Messier Inclusive Technology Limited [2026] KEELRC 1012 (KLR), the Court highlighted the importance of clear, objective and documented performance standards.

If you terminate for poor performance, ask yourself:

What was the employee expected to achieve — and where is the evidence?

You followed the disciplinary process. So why did you still lose? 👀

Show-cause letter. Hearing. Appeal. Everything seemed right.

But in Soita v Kenya Power & Lighting Company Limited [2026] KEELRC 922 (KLR), the Court reminded employers:

A fair process is more than ticking boxes.

The question isn’t just, “Did we follow the steps?”

It’s “Did the employee have a genuine opportunity to defend themselves?”

That distinction matters.

Most Kenyans don’t know that there are different types of title deeds—and understanding what you are dealing with matters when buying property.

You paid for the land. Is it actually registered in your name?
One of the common mistakes property buyers make in Kenya is assuming that once they have paid the full purchase price, the transaction is complete.
It isn’t.
