The Central Organisation of Trade Unions (Cotu) applauds President Uhuru Kenyatta for his directive for a tax waiver on payments of overtime, bonuses and retirement benefits for low-income workers. Workers have suffered heavy taxation since 1994 and we appreciate his response to our needs as Cotu.
Cotu welcomes and considers the President’s directive a great offer and reward to Kenyan workers who will now enjoy a huge reprieve on their monthly as well as terminal benefits from the taxman. The waiver will go a long way in improving their welfare as well as cushioning them from harsh economic realities among other challenges as Cotu indicated on Labour Day.
