The government has raised concerns over the delayed payment of more than 3,000 suspended workers at the Export Processing Zone in Athi River.

In a letter signed by the Export Processing Zone Authority (EPZA ) Chief Executive Officer Richard Ipero Omelu, the Authority has appealed to the protesting workers of Hela Intimates who were dismissed last month after the company closed business, to remain calm as the government follows their pending dues.
