The Labour Court has awarded Sh1.672 million to Nyali Primary School deputy principal Tony Ongugo for breach of contract.

The court ruled that the Mombasa Parents Club failed to address his concerns and placed him in an insecure environment justifying his search for alternative employment.
Ongugo reported threats, vandalism, and a break-in at his office and police assistance was sought. Justice Mbaru held that Ongugo’s termination was wrongful and awarded notice pay and compensation.
The further dismissed a Ksh930,000 claim by the school for salary and equipment
