Kenya has exploitative labour practices, that this site has extensively covered.

I have seen the issue about Safaricom on contract workers that prompted me to Inbox you too.
I thought it was only in Nairobi bottlers (Coca-Cola) where contract workers are given more work and less pay.
I have been on contract for six years now, I know others who have been on contract for even to seven years.
It's sad because they promise to confirm us on permanent basis year in year out, only to come up with excuses that the company is not doing well.
Big companies with big names taking advantage of helpless workers, just wondering for how long does someone work before he's confirmed in line with laws in Kenya.
