Alarming claims of unpaid salaries and workplace intimidation have surfaced at ICS College, officially known as the East Africa Institute of Certified Studies, with employees alleging prolonged financial neglect and harassment by the institution’s management, particularly at its Nairobi campus.
Multiple staff members have come forward anonymously, accusing the college of failing to pay salaries for over three consecutive months, dating back to April.
The Nairobi branch, which is the institution’s flagship and head office, located in the Central Business District, is said to be the epicenter of the crisis.
According to sources within the institution, employees have been enduring growing pressure, threats, and intimidation from management despite continued delays in salary disbursement.
The situation has reportedly created a toxic working environment, with staff morale at an all-time low.
One employee described the experience as “three months of intimidation without pay” adding that the silence from the administration has left workers feeling helpless and exploited.
The college is a well-established and accredited tertiary institution known for offering a wide range of diploma, certificate, and artisan courses.
It boasts affiliations with reputable examination bodies such as KNEC, KASNEB, ICM, ABMA, and IATA.
However, despite its public image and growing student population, internal grievances suggest that staff welfare is being neglected behind the scenes.
As more voices continue to speak out, pressure is mounting on the institution’s leadership to address the growing unrest and fulfill their obligations to employees.
Meanwhile, affected staff are urging relevant authorities to intervene and investigate the matter to ensure that labour rights are respected.
Below is what some of the affected ICS College Nairobi employees had to say.
“Hi Cryprian. Please post this anonymously. I’m an employee of ICS TECHNICAL COLLEGE. This COLLEGE does not pay employees. Employees are harassed and threatened by the management. We have not been paid since April. The main problem is in Nairobi campus.”
