Advocate of the High Court of Tanzania

Asha advises on employment contracts, disciplinary and termination process, restructuring, and the disputes that sometimes follow.

She works with employers before a decision is taken, because most unfair termination findings turn on procedure. Her files carry the record a CMA panel will later want to see.

Recent experience

Guiding an employer through a retrenchment affecting 40 roles, including the selection criteria and the consultation record.

Defending an unfair termination claim at mediation and arbitration before the Commission for Mediation and Arbitration.

Rewriting a group’s contracts of employment and disciplinary policy after a change in operating structure.

Perspective

“A termination is judged on the procedure as much as on the reason. The record has to be made at the time.”
