Central Organization of Trade Unions Secretary General Francis Atwoli has come out to give reasons that will prompt workers to re-elect the Jubilee Government.
According to Atwoli, matters raised by workers once acted upon, president Uhuru Kenyatta's guranteed.
"This is our prayer that we want President Uhuru to heed to. Workers are tired of manipulation and false promises. We need action now," he said.
Atwoli was speaking when he called for the government to increase the minimum wage for workers from Sh12,600 to Sh15,372 a month.
"The Government should put up mechanisms to ensure its people are not starving and one of the ways is to improve remuneration for workers," Mr Atwoli said.
He also accused the government of doing less to solve high cost of living.
"Everywhere you go in the country, Kenyans are crying over high cost of living and unemployment. It is the high time that people in Government should put heads together and come up with a lasting solution to the challenges affecting Kenyans," he said.
