Three bank employees who are adherents of the Seventh Day Adventist Church have sued their employer for forcing them to work on Saturdays. The three who work for the Kenya Post Office Savings Bank have asked the Industrial Court to make orders declaring their rights to freedom of conscience, religion and belief, opinion, right to equality and freedom from discrimination have been violated by their employer. Prisca Kemboi, Grace Nyaboke Osoro, Kennedy Tai say they face imminent dismissal after their employer accused them of absconding duty on Saturday, which is their day of worship.
