On November 5, 2019, Mumias Sugar Company employees were sent home permanently, marking a significant shift in the company's operations.
The move comes after the company was put under receivership by the Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB), a development that has left many employees uncertain about their future.
According to a notice seen by Pulselive.co.ke, the Receiver has engaged a new set of employees on a contractual basis, with priority given to past employees while recruiting staff on a temporary basis.
Any payment to the affected employees will be dealt with in accordance with the provision of the law, as stated in the notice.
"Accordingly, the Receiver shall engage the services of any employee on a temporary basis on mutually agreeable terms until the time when the operations resume," the notice read.
