Employers have stepped up their opposition to the Employment (Amendment) Bill, 2022, which proposes to give workers "the right to disconnect" from their bosses outside working hours.

Federation of Kenya Employers (FKE) argues the expected changes to the Employment Act, 2007 are radical and could limit companies' ability to manage workers.
