Workers across various unions have threatened the mother of all strikes if the government makes good its plans to scrap permanent and pensionable terms for civil servants.

At a Central Organisation of Trade Unions (Cotu) meeting in Nairobi on Saturday, the workers also demanded the sacking of Public Service Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria over his proposal to have civil servants employed on contract.
