Kenyan gig workers have called on the government to amend three clauses in the Business Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2024, saying they favour foreign investors over local worker protections.

But labour leaders say clauses 10, 11 and 12 also touch on digital and platform work, and as drafted, shield multinational technology firms from accountability.
