This has recently been reiterated by the Supreme Court of Kenya in Symon Wairobi Gatuma v Kenya Breweries Limited and Three Others, Petition E023 of 2023 (the Supreme Courtdecision).   The Supreme Court decision is, however, more than just a decision on unilateral amendments to employment contracts. It addresses and provides guidance as to how to treat employees during business restructuring exercises and redundancies.
