DIS agents want dismissal of gov’t appeal on shift allowance :: Mmegi Online

A group of 144 Directorate of Intelligence and Security (DIS) agents has urged the Court of Appeal to uphold a High Court ruling awarding them shift allowances, arguing that employees who work rotational shifts are legally entitled to the benefit.

Representing the agents, lawyer Uyapo Ndadi submitted that the law makes payment of shift allowances mandatory for employees working rotational shifts and asked the court to dismiss the government's appeal against the ruling.

Ndadi contended that the Attorney General's appeal is "devoid of merit" and that the High Court correctly found the government acted unlawfully by failing to pay shift allowances prescribed under the Public Service Regulations. The appeal is without merit, raises no misdirection in law or fact and seeks to subordinate statute to administrative convenience," Ndadi argued in the respondents' submissions.
