The Kenyan Labour Minister has announced a 12.5% increase in the basic minimum wage for all workers in the country.
This increase is in addition to last year's 10% increase, and comes as the Minister revealed plans to develop a wage and income policy which will provide a framework for all future increases, and will also be linked to the bill of rights in the new constitution.
It is a far cry from the 60-100% increase demanded by the Central Organisation of Trade Unions, who also called for a general increase of 10% to everyone's wages, not just the minimum wage. The minimum wage was increased from Sh7334 to Sh8250.75.
