Try walking in someone else's shoes before you make statements like this one.
I'm thinking about the lowest paid workers in formal employment....what does the lowest paid government messenger, tea girl etc earn? Does it mean that they have to opt between remaining in formal employment and quitting work to babysit because they cannot afford to pay the minimum wage?

I suppose if you can get a house officer for 3000 per month you will do it, in the full knowledge that you are exploiting someone. I do not think I would do that as I would treat others as I would be expect to be treated myself. I would expect treating someone as a commodity means they will treat you and your family the same, and leave at the first opportunity for a few shillings more.

Are you not overstepping your mandate? It would seem to me that the first lady makes the calls about who to employ, the duties and at what rate. But then again not all republics are run like Rome.

I would have thought of this..... but was shy to point the anomaly because I thought @nwamaina is actually the First Lady. But as you say... not all dogs have a long tail

Check Legal Notice No. 64 of 10th June 2011

We are only informing you of your legal obligations and we are out to further notions of conformance to laws that seek to hinder job growth and promote unemployment as you state.

I never even said I support the said ministerial directive.


Thank you GGK - this Legal Notice is a good reminder. I had to check it too! Its available as a download at http://www.labour.go.ke/
