Your terms and conditions are void ab-initio because you are already breaking the law by offering to pay way below the KSh7,586 set by govt as the minimum wage for domestic workers. "..I am because we are. "― Ubuntu, Umtu,

"NB-This will be reviewed quarterly and will be commensurate with performance." And it could go further down

Your domestic worker is also entitled to:
o A weekly break of 48 hours (note that this does not mean when they’re sleeping). Failure to grant the break means that you’re required to compensate the worker at the rate of 365 per day.
o You will be required to make statutory contributions for your employee (NSSF @200 per month and NHIF @ 320 per month
o Paid annual leave
o Also, that minimum monthly wage is exclusive of house allowance. You cannot therefore argue that you’re paying less because you’re housing them.
ALSO note that failure to adhere these rules could result in you being jailed for 3 months or fined 50k (or both)

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. "..I am because we are. "― Ubuntu, Umtu,

I never even said I support the said ministerial directive. Also, read together with the Employment Act. A domestic worker is an employee like any other and is entitled to the same rights and protections as any other employee. If you are going to conduct a public recruitment like this one, it should at least conform to legal requirements...

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.

For those interested please forward applications to suluhisho@gmail.com 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 accelriskconsult wrote:
