Summary

• They held demos outside the State corporation’s offices on Harry Thuku Road in Nairobi.
• KBC says delay in inking CBA is due to ongoing deliberations with the Salaries and Remuneration Commission

Some workers of the national broadcaster KBC have boycotted work just under a week before the General Election.

The staff allied to the Communication Workers Union began their strike on Wednesday to protest management’s failure to sign and implement their Collective Bargaining Agreement.

They held demos outside the State corporation’s offices on Harry Thuku Road in Nairobi.

Managing Director Waithaka Waihenya, in a statement, said the delay in inking the CBA was
occasioned by ongoing deliberations with the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC).
