Pay contract termination fee if i am resigning halfway in my contract?

Delirium Onset

I have a two year contract with my employer, and I completed 13 months, and would like to terminate the contract for another opportunity. at a 60 day notice.


My employer has asked me to pay the contract termination penalty, which is my salary for the remainder of my contract period.


My employment contract in Qiwa does not anywhere state that resigning from my side would require me to pay the penalty for the duration of the contract.


What is my legal recourse in this?
