Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU) Secretary General Francis Atwoli has challenged the Members of Parliament to tighten laws on worker exploitation to ensure that companies are not exploiting Kenyan workers in the New Year 2025.
Speaking while giving his official message on the New Year, Atwoli condemned companies that are outsourcing workers, casualization employment, and poor contracts that have poor working conditions portraying Kenyans as slaves.
Atwoli pointed out cases of companies that are underpaying Kenyans or those that are asking one of their employers to source for employees and pay them lower wages.
According to Atwoli, such practices are illegal not just in Kenya but also according to international law relations.
