Justice Nzioki wa Makau observed that the guard's rights had never been violated by her employer.

"Since there was cause for the dismissal and basis for a summary dismissal on account of gross misconduct, the suit is only fit for dismissal," the judge stated.

Security check that cost Cherogony her job

Daisy was terminated after she forced CS Matiang'i to get in line at a security check at JKIA on April 5, 2017.

"He (Matiang'i) did not want to follow the queue but wanted special treatment despite the fact that it was raining and people were complaining," she told reporters at the time.

She maintained that she had not violated the CS's rights, however, KAA argued that her action caused a 32-minute-delay to a scheduled flight.
