There was fracas at the Eco Roses Limited Flower Farm in Mosop, Rongai sub-county after workers downed tools over what they said is mistreatment by the management.
The irate workers claimed the management had failed to pay them their salary for two months.
There was even more drama at the entrance to the flower farm when members of the press arrived but were denied entry.
Members of the press were however later allowed access.
Addressing media, the workers said the working conditions in the firm were unbearable and called on their union to come to their rescue.
“We have problems with the management as workers and we are calling on our leaders and the government to come in and assist us,” one worker said.
The fracas saw an impromptu crisis meeting by top management, area OCS and area MCA Daniel Mutai among others.
Mutai called on the workers to be calm as their issues would be addressed.
“The strike has been occasioned by the issue of transition which led to some errors in the pay slips and we are calling on the management and unionists to sit down and see that the matter is addressed,” Mutai said.
