Unionists have asked President Uhuru Kenyatta to intervene and have the proposed amendments to labour laws withdrawn from Parliament to allow stakeholders to discuss them.
Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU) Secretary General Francis Atwoli, Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) Secretary General Wilson Sossion and Federation of Kenya Employees Chief Executive Officer Jacqueline Mugo said they would not allow passage of the Statutes Law (miscellaneous amendments) Bill 2018, as it is against the rights of workers.
