Protesting Portland Cement employees halt operations over new CEO Bruno Obodha
East African Portland Cement Company workers use a tractor and a truck to block the gates of the Athi River plant as they protest against the appointment of a new CEO on December 23, 2024.
Workers at the East African Portland Cement Company (EAPCC) on Monday, December 23, shut down operations and barricaded the main gate of the Athi River plant, in protest against the appointment of a new managing director.
The workers shut down operations at the giant cement processor two days after Bruno Obodha was appointed by President William Ruto last Friday to replace Mohammed Osman Adan, who had been serving in an acting capacity.
