Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has spoken out on the hardships Kenyan workers are facing, noting that many are suffering and unhappy.
According to Gachagua, the workers are going through anguish, unspeakable pain and frustration due to the struggles they have been experiencing.
“As we mark the 60th Labour Day celebration, the story of the Kenyan worker is the same: unspeakable pain, anguish, and utter frustration. We know no Kenyan worker is happy, and to wish them such is only additional pain,” Gachagua noted.

The former DP moreover stated that workers are earning less due to numerous unnecessary deductions, while the cost of living continues to rise.
He further criticised leaders for wasting public funds by bribing Kenyans to attend public gatherings.
He slammed Ruto’s administration over the continued deductions from payslips, saying they have been raided for uncouth causes while the cost of living skyrockets.
Gachagua however encouraged workers not to lose hope, stating that the situation is not permanent.
