Cooperatives Cabinet Secretary Wycliffe Oparanya has told the Senate that former employees of the defunct Kenya Cooperatives Creameries (KCC) cannot be compensated by the New Kenya Cooperatives Creameries (New KCC) since the two were not the same in law.

Oparanya said the New KCC Ltd, having not been in existence when the claimants were in employment, was clearly not their employer since the claimants were employees of KCC and could therefore not be compensated by an organisation they did not work for.
