Central Organisation of Trade Unions(COTU) through their Secretary General Francis Atwoli has made shocking claims that Kenyan MPs are misbehaving abroad.
Cotu alleged that the lawmakers who were supposed to attend an international labour conference in Geneva, Switzerland were instead on a busy shopping spree and living large on taxpayers' money.
The union claims that the lawmakers from the National Assembly and Senate Labour Committee have not attended a single session of the 106th
session of the International Labour Conference.“Cotu wishes to raise its concern against a section of both members of the National Assembly and the Senate, who reportedly received money... but did not attend a single session of the ongoing conference and instead have been spotted busy shopping on the streets of Geneva,” the union said in a statement.The Kenyan delegation is led by Labour Cabinet Secretary phyllis kandie, Principal Secretary Khadija Kasachoon and Commissioner for Labour Sammy Nyambari.The 10-day conference is expected to close this Friday.
