On January 5, 2022, workers at the Export Processing Zone in Athi River were shocked to find that their contracts had been terminated, with many left wondering what the future holds.
According to reports, the workers were barred from accessing the premises after failing to reapply for their contracts, which had expired over the December holidays.
The move has left many workers feeling betrayed and uncertain about their employment status, with some claiming they were told to reapply for their jobs afresh.
As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the Export Processing Zone management will address the concerns of the affected workers.
