Documenting Unemployment: Nairobi Hospital recently issued redundancy letters

The Nairobi Hospital

The Nairobi Hospital is now sacking staff after hitting a struggling phase.

The hospital which has cashed in on the coronavirus pandemic wrote some letters of redundancy to lay off staff blaming the current economic situation for the move.

Laying off staff on flimsy grounds has never been a great move as research shows 1 in 3 cases lodged at the Employment and Labor Relations Court are won by sacked employees.
