Kenya: EPZ Workers Locked in At Night

The Government is going to appoint a special team to investigate reports of employees' rights violations within Export Processing Zones (EPZs) in Changamwe area of Mombasa. Coast Provincial Commissioner, Cyrus Maina, said he would set up the team, after being informed by officials of the Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU) that the lives of hundreds of employees in three EPZs were in danger, as they were forced to work overnight under lock and key.
