As the World marks Labour Day today, President Uhuru Kenyatta is expected at Uhuru Park to weigh in on the minimum wage which Central Organisations of Trade Unions (COTU-K) says only covers workers who are not unionisable.

 

Congolese maestros Wuta Mayi and Nyboma Mwandido thrill the crowd with 1980s hit song Nina at Uhuru Park during this year's Labour Day celeberations. The two were invited by COTU boss Francis Atwoli.

At the heart of today’s push for better pay is non-compliance with the minimum pay whose review has become an annual ritual that only appears on paper and often ignored by employers.
