The Kenya National Private Security Workers Union (KNPSWU) has urged the government to intervene and close down security firms that have failed to comply with the minimum wage requirement.
Speaking during a meeting with shop stewards across the country in Nairobi, the union leaders stated that firms that do not comply with this regulation needed to have their licences revoked.
The union's Secretary General Isaac Andabwa noted that such companies had failed to implement the six per cent increment in their wage bill and this blatantly underpaying the workers thus the union had taken it upon themselves to spread awareness to all security officers on how much they should be paid. "We are going to collaborate with other government sectors to make sure we have a sector Sacco, sector union, and a sector academy meant to empower our leadership and even the workers," Andabwa opined.
