Security guards have narrated their alleged suffering at the hands of private security firms which they accused of collecting millions of shillings from clients but pay them peanuts.

It emerged that some security firms collect as high as Sh50,000 from their clients per guard but pay security personnel as low as Sh8,000 per month.
