Kenya Ferry Services bosses jailed over dock workers pay rise order

MOMBASA: The Industrial Court in Mombasa has sentenced Kenya Ferry Services chief executive officer Musa Hassan and human resource manager Thomas Tuva Kenga to five months in jail for disobeying a court order.

Hassan and Kenga were found guilty of dishonouring an order awarding a 20 per cent salary increase to dock workers. The Dock Workers Union (DWU) had sued for contempt with regard to the increment ordered by the court on May 22, when the workers won a case in which they sought a raise.
