In the series, Slavery In Kenya, one company has featured more than the others.
There was a time Wandia Gichuru’s Vivo Woman Company featured much in its mistreatment of workers , has things improved at this company?
Anyway, moving on swiftly, Indians in Kenya are slave-drivers.
Blowplast has been on the limelight in recent times, Staff confirm the company owners to be very evil.
Messages received by the chief editor of this site shows employees are in tandem with what we've been writing. They confirm these writings to be true.
Not that we don't do investigations, we did.
We also found additional information of slavery; like Slaves in a cage, across the Atlantic, death always stalking them, death stalks the workers who work during he night at Blowplast.
Blowplast has flouted the Kenya law on the part of Occupational Safety and Health Act, No. 15 of 2007 (Revised 2010), which among other things states that workplaces must be 'maintained in a condition that is safe and without risks to health and provide necessary means of access to egress (outlet) from it that are safe and without risks to health'.
The information nyakundireport.com received is that those who work at Blowplast Limited during the night shift are locked inside the factory with very limited access to safety incase a fire etc happens.
What is the Labour Ministry doing?
Blowplast staff should not wait for a disaster to happen, but because they fear being fired, they have passed this message to the concerned authorities to act.
Don't wait until a disaster happens then we see crocodile tears from the Ministry. Act now. Information received First Hi great man,
You never talked of things like being locked inside the company at night during night shift with no emergency doors. You can't access the premises with your phone; if they get you, you are fired. The management and supervisors use a lot of abusive language. No training is offered on how to operate the machines used, many have been injured and some have even lost their hands, fingers cut by the machines. You can't join any trade union, for if you do so they will definitely fire you. Getting sacked is a song or a chorus known by every staff.
Those are just some of challenges we undergo here.
Thanks in advance for I know u will intervene together with those in the field of labor all the best Second Hi Nyakundi,
