Central Organisation of Trade Union (COTU) Secretary General Francis Atwoli has criticised the Federation of Kenya Employers (FKE) for allegedly lying that at least 5,000 Kenyans lost their jobs since President William Ruto took office.
Addressing members of the press on Tuesday noon, the workers' representative accused the employers' federation of spreading propaganda and that the figures presented by the agency were inaccurate.
According to the long-serving unionist, the data presented by the federation were misleading adding that the information was aimed at instilling fear in the current regime. "That is propaganda of the highest order means to instil fear in order negotiators when it comes to renewing terms of service and if several companies move out of Kenya, you will know," Atwoli stated.
