Labour Principal Secretary Shadrack Mwadime has warned employers of underpaying workers, particularly in supermarkets and other sectors, stating that the government will ensure they face legal consequences.
Speaking after a high-level meeting with the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Renson Igonga on labour law enforcement, the PS maintained that labour rights must be upheld, and that businesses found violating wage regulations will not be spared. "We are putting unscrupulous employers on notice.
Those who continue to exploit workers by paying below the legal minimum wage should know that their days are numbered.
The government is committed to enforcing labour laws, and those caught will face the full wrath of the law," warned Mwadime.
