Casual labourers who have been renovating Uhuru Park on Thursday tok to the streets to protest lack of payment of dues by the Nairobi Metropolitan Services(NMS).
Led by their supervisor Nahason Mukabane, the aggrieved labourers said they haven’t been paid since May 2022, which has since accumulated to about Sh78,000 per person.
