Former Kenya Police coach Francis Baraza may have been awarded Ksh4m for wrongful dismissal but he wants to appeal the ruling as he deems the amount not sufficient.
Former Kenya Police coach Francis Baraza is demanding more than the Ksh4 million awarded to him by the Sports Disputes Tribunal (SDT) over wrongful dismissal.
The SDT ordered Kenya Police to pay the 2006 Kenyan Premier League title-winning coach Ksh4m as compensation for unfair dismissal but his legal representatives are not satisfied and want to appeal the ruling as they deem the amount insufficient.
“Whereas we commend the court for considering and making declarations as we had sought for, we are aggrieved to the extent that the monetary awards are not commensurate to the damages pleaded that match the pedigree of our client,” Baraza’s lawyer Ochutsi Munyendo told Mozzartsport.

Kenya Police ordered to pay ex-coach Ksh4 million over wrongful dismissal
Kenya Police have been directed to pay their former tactician Francis Baraza Ksh4 million following his sacking in September 2023.
“He is a highly profiled coach whose magic restored the respondent' fortunes in 2022/2023 season. We reasonably believe that our client deserves something to the tune of Ksh6.8million or thereabouts as we had pleaded.”
Baraza was sacked by Police in September 2023 after a poor start to the season but responded by seeking legal redress over what he felt was an unfair sacking.
The former Sony Sugar coach issued Police with a with a Ksh4.9 million demand, being Sh3.2 million for constructive dismissal, Sh800,000 for unfair termination of his contract, his salary arrears for September 2023, and a further Sh400,000 for the notice period.
