Retired teachers case marred with confusion as lawyers point fingers

Retired teachers case marred with confusion as lawyers point fingers
PUBLIC IMPORTANCE

According to Mr Anyuor, TSC could not file its response since the additional document by Mr Kimatta was filed late.

“It will be unfair for the court to proceed with the matter without our responses yet it is the petitioner’s lawyer who is blocking the system by failing to serve documents on time,” said Mr Anyuor.

Mr Waitindi also claimed his employer was yet to be served with the orders issued by the court on August 1, requiring him to file vouchers of every retiree said to have been paid.

Justice Janet Mulwa was forced to intervene and cautioned the lawyers over their conduct on the matter which she said was of public importance.

She warned the parties against disobeying court orders saying that strict provisions will be followed in the expedition of the matter.

DISOBEYING ORDERS

She also regretted that the director of pensions had failed to honour court orders.

“ This court will not entertain parties disobeying its orders. The counsels should be a little bit more serious with this case. Let them put their houses in order and do what is expected of them by their clients,” ruled Justice Mulwa.

The retired teachers returned to court accusing the pensions office of refusing to obey orders to pay them their dues. The case was adjourned to November 7.
