The Central Organisation of Trade Unions (Cotu) has dismissed the recent gazette notice on wage increments, saying it does not reflect the 12 per cent increase as directed by President William Ruto.
Secretary General Francis Atwoli says the President announced a general wage increment yet what was published by the Labour and Social Protection Cabinet Secretary Alfred Mutua is minimum wage.
He claims that since the announcement, some employers have been lobbying to have the directive watered down by substituting the general wage increase with a minimum wage.
