Parastatals continue to lay off workers due to tough economy. After Kenya Power lay-off, New KCC has destined for the same. Kenyan Economy has been declining day by day. Stock Market registering negative, companies stop listing at the Nairobi stock market.




 The New KCC has sacked 280 of its casual workers in Nyahururu, Laikipia County, a move aimed at creating room for modernisation of the government-owned factory.




 In a letter dated February 29, Managing Director Simon Wanjangi said the agreements had been terminated with immediate effect citing no much production going on at the 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."



“There is no clear explanation as to why our services were terminated. e are reading mischief in the whole process and suspecting a hidden motive,” said Mr James Mwangi, the casual workers' spokesperson.
