New KCC Fires 288 Workers in Nyahururu Factory

“This is to inform you that due to the temporary stoppage of production operations in the factory, to give room for factory modernisation, the management has decided to terminate your services with immediate effect,” read the letters.

The fired New KCC workers have, however, protested the move to terminate their contracts saying that the factory had hired recently hired new employees on a permanent basis. It was, therefore, illogical to let them go and hire new people since they were more experienced working at the factory.

The New KCC management also noted that holding on to the casual workers was a waste of time since no production was taking place at the factory.

The fired workers have however tarnished these reports and have claimed that production was taking place and that the management’s explanation was vague.
