Kenya's umbrella workers body on Sunday insisted that its proposed 10-day general workers strike was still on despite stiff opposition from key players in the private sector.

is he the one putting food on the table ???? ashindwe !!!!!!!!!!!!!1

In relation to this I've never understood how we use 650,000,000*8.02/= for diesel a month on power generation! 8.02/= is fuel cost adjustment on our electricity bills. The sum! comes to 5,213,000,000/=. At 110/= a litre this gives 47,389,000 litres to generate power?

We need Atwoli to bring sense to this.

Atwoli is completely wrong. Who are matatus striking against? The public or governement? When I fail to get to the work place, who sufers?
