The Senate Committee on Labour and Social Welfare today rejected a proposal from Solicitor General, Hon. Shadrack Mose to form an inter-ministerial committee aimed at resolving the prolonged compensation dispute involving former employees of the Kenya Cooperative Creameries (KCC). 

The proposal, put forward by Hon. Mose, sought to involve the Ministries of Agriculture, Cooperatives and the National Treasury to audit and validate claims made by the ex-workers, many of whom were dismissed over two decades ago.

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has recommended charges against Judy Chepchirchir, Director of First Choice Recruitment and Consultancy Agency, for obtaining money by false pretences. The move follows widespread allegations of fraud, with over 5,000 young people claiming they were defrauded by the agency in a scheme promising overseas job placements, particularly in the run-up to the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
