Ask a lawyer:
I have been accused of lateness after arriving two minutes past the stipulated time in a tvet college in Kenya. Does two minutes late warrant legal saction?

I am unable to give a definite answer at this time.

While arriving two minutes late to a TVET college in Kenya may be considered a minor infraction, it is not possible to determine if it warrants legal sanction without further information.

Factors that would need to be considered include:

  • The specific rules and regulations of the TVET college: Each institution may have its own policies regarding lateness, including the consequences for exceeding the stipulated time.

  • The context of the lateness: Was it a one-time occurrence or a pattern of behavior? Were there extenuating circumstances that caused the lateness?

  • The nature of the program or activity: Was the lateness during a lecture, practical session, or an important event?

It is advisable to consult with the TVET college administration to understand their specific policies on lateness and the potential consequences.

You may also wish to seek legal advice from a qualified lawyer in Kenya to understand your rights and obligations in this situation.
