Constructive dismissal: The end result of complaints, grievances and toxicity in the workplace

It has become quite routine for employers to simply dismiss a possible claim of constructive dismissal. This is because it is one of the more peculiar forms of dismissal claims and, statistically, a form of claim that does not easily find success at arbitration. In short, for an employee to succeed they must show that the resignation was because their continued employment had become intolerable at the instance of the employer. While the bar is high, the risk of a successful constructive dismissal claim can be serious for an employer. Also, an employee is not limited to compensation and may seek reinstatement (despite the resignation).

Kenya enacts the Conflict of Interest Act, 2025: What businesses need to know

The Conflict of Interest Act 11 of 2025 (the Act) was assented to on 30 July 2025 and came into force on 19 August 2025, repealing the Public Officer Ethics Act. The Act establishes a robust framework for preventing, identifying and addressing conflicts of interest in the public service. It redefines the boundaries between public duty and private interest, introduces stricter prohibitions, and grants wider enforcement powers to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (the EACC). While designed to regulate public officers, the Act’s provisions have direct and far-reaching implications for businesses that supply goods and services to Government, participate in public procurement, engage in public-private partnerships, or hire former public officials.
