Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) employees who took their employer to court over a dispute that emanated from unpaid salaries following a directive that was issued in 2005 and settlement agreement reached between the two parties in 2012, have lost their case.

The case of the 17 applicants was dismissed by Industrial Court judge, Isaac Bahuma, on contention that the ministry had failed to honour a settlement agreement that was entered into by the parties on July 26, 2012.

Dismissing the case, Justice Bahuma said it did not matter that there was an agreement signed by the parties because the agreement was not a court order and not enforceable in a court of law.
