KBC`s workers to go on strike

It seems the government owned media house KBC is in trouble again as its

workers are calling for a strike come 23rd this month after talks with the information permanent secretary Bitange Ndemo did not bare any fruits.

The workers had given an earlier strike notice but they called off as their union was engaging in talks with the company`s top management and officials from the information ministry.

If the government does nothing about this, then this will be the first time in Kenya`s history that KBC staff will go on a strike. The workers have been complaining about poor salary and working conditions. The company also owes them their benefits which is amounting to approximately shillings three hundred million.

We hope the goverment will put its house in order as soon as possible in order to avoid this looming strike. It will be a big shame to the goverment if its owned media house goes off air due to workers strike.
