Lilongwe Water Board employee forced to retire after K16m windfall in compensation
Lilongwe Water Board (LWB) has forcebly retired on health grounds an employee who succesfuly sued the capital city water providers for K16m.
Ipyana Kalolokesya, who worked as the board’s electrical technician, was given the letter just a day after he was compensated K16 million for losing an eye in an accident at work place.
A letter signed by the board’s acting director of administration and human resources Trevor Phoya says Kalolokesya could not work efficiently and effectively after the loss of his eye.
“If a person does not have an eye, he cannot work effectively,” said Phoya.
Kalolokesya injured his eye in 2016 and immediately sued his employer for compensation, a protracted legal battle that forced sheriffs to impound two vehicles frow the state water utility company.
Lawyer for Kalolokesya, Eric Salima said he would consult his client on the way forward following the forced retirement.

Nkhani iyi ikanatuluka msanga tikanayiyika pa list a ma petitions a demo yazulo. LWB are we done yet with you?????
This is a clear case of an eye for an eye!
PALOWA NDALE !!
Who made the determination that a one eyed man cannot work as a technician. Is it a medical doctor or court judge.? This guy is being penalized for successfully suing employer.
Be assured that the next compensation will be for unfair dismissal, discrimination, psychological injury etc, and it will be higher than K16m. Bambo a Chikuni Please discuss with this guy and peacefully reinstate him.
I have friends who are working in many government departments with one eye. Can they prove that from 2016 the said guy was a liability to the company? If he has been working properly why such a sudden change? Mabwana musamatitero. Kumaganiza muli inuyo
an electrician has one eye and you say he can not work effectively, yet this many has two hands.
