He was employed by De La Rue in 1998 as a general worker but was promoted over the years to become a vault porter in the security materials department.
In cross-examination, the doctor said the De La Rue ex-employee’s injuries were caused by lifting of heavy loads, a common cause of disc dehydration.
A former employee of De La Rue Currency and Security Print Ltd, who earned a monthly salary of Sh41,000, has been awarded Sh19 million by a court for wrongful dismissal.
Mr David Nzioka was wrongfully dismissed by De La Rue on April 8, 2008 on medical grounds after he became incapacitated following an injury in his lower back while counting papers on the vaccumatic machine in the vault.
