A Naivasha based club is facing a legal suit before the court in Nakuru for withholding a two months’ payment for its disc jockey.

The management of The Boss Lounge and Grill is required to appear before a small claims court to respond to a suit filed by Mr Boniface Maina Kamau alias DJ Kullyburn over Sh 30,000 salary arrears.

The club is said to have hired the services of the local DJ in December last year through a contract but ended up failing to meet its side of the bargain.

It is alleged that Mr Maina was forced to stop rendering his service in a bid to push the club to pay his accrued wages.

In a bid to lure him back to work, the club paid him Sh 8,000 before entering into an agreement to deposit the remaining amount.

However, they failed to do so forcing the DJ to again stop his services on March 20.

When his efforts to demand payment bore no fruits he moved to labour offices hoping to get his justice.

However, this too failed to yield any fruits as respective summons issued against the directors were dishonoured.

A record four summons issued against the club were disobeyed forcing Mr Maina to move to court for legal redress.

He filed the case before the small claims court on July 18 seeking to have the club compelled to pay his dues.

Resident magistrate Dominic Macharia directed that the club be served with the documents and respond to it within 17 days.

“You are required to file a response to the statement of claim within 15 days after being served with the accompanying claim,” ruled Mr Macharia.

The case will be mentioned on August 7 to confirm compliance.
