Kenyan seafarers have penned a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that signals one of the most consequential developments in the country's maritime labour movement in recent times.
The agreement between Seafarers Union of Kenya (SUK), Kenya Seafarers Welfare Association (KSWA), and Independent Mkunazini Seafarers Organisation (IMSO) represents far more than ink on paper.
It signals a long-overdue recognition that Kenyan seafarers have suffered not from a deficit of talent, competence, or international competitiveness, but from a chronic shortage of unity.
