THE Morogoro International School is to pay its former Information Communication Technology (ICT) Coordinator and Teacher, Hongo Manyanya, over 50m/- for unfair termination of his employment services.
This follows the decision of the Court of Appeal to dismiss the appeal in which the school, the appellant, had lodged to fault the decision of the High Court, which confirmed the findings of the Commission for Mediation and Arbitration (CMA) of Morogoro, ruling in favour of Manyanya, the respondent.
Justices Augustine Mwarija, Lilian Mashaka and Omar Makungu said that the High Court judge could not be faulted in his judgment as the grounds raised lacked legal merits.
“Accordingly, this appeal is hereby dismissed. This being a labour matter, we make no order as to costs,” they ruled.
Before reaching into the decision, the justices considered two issues, including whether there was new issue raised by the CMA and confirmed by the High Court, which was not pleaded and recorded in the case file and if the remedies awarded were fit for unfair termination not in breach of contract.
