The proposal by Government to remove Federation of Kenya Employers (FKE) and Central Organisation of Trade Unions (Cotu) representatives from the National Social Security Fund board has now been taken before the International Labour Organisation.

Jacqueline Mugo, the FKE executive director, told a packed 107th ILO conference in Geneva that a proposal by Kenya’s National Assembly to remove both employers and workers' representatives from the board was in bad faith.
