Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU) Secretary General Francis Atwoli has urged foreign investors in the country to employ Kenyans directly and not through outsourcing companies.

Atwoli announced plans to push for amendments to the outsourcing laws, noting that the act by employers exploits workers and erodes the gains made by the union.
