KBC staff goes on strike as GSU take’s over the security

It’s official that State owned media house KBC workers are on strike from today even as their Managing Director

Chief WaithakaWaihenya declared the strike illegal.

The government deployed its paramilitary police unit GSU to KBC to take over the security for fear that the striking workers may paralyze the normal functioning of the parastatal.

It’s reported that the GSU are harassing other journalists who want to cover the KBC’s story. They are even confiscating their cameras in order to see the contents of what has been recorded.

The workers have downed their tools demanding better pay and working conditions. They also want the company to pay them their outstanding areas.
