The New Kenya Co-operative Creameries (NKCC) Limited has denied claims of having ‘ghost’ workers in the company’s payroll.
This follows the release of the Public Service Commission (PSC) 2022/2023 Report, which indicated that the largest dairy processor in East and Central Africa had over 492 unaccounted labor force.
New KCC explained that the “variance of 492 alleged ghost workers represents the fixed-term contract staff.”
“This is the standard seasonal nature of business operations in the dairy industry,” the Nixon Sigey-led public entity said.
Further, the company clarified that as of June 2023, it maintained an approved staff establishment of 2,206.
