Improving informal women transport workers safety and working conditions is a key policy goal of ITF, @TumiInitiative and @WomenMobilize, and we’re grateful to GIZ for allowing us to tell stories like these.
As we share women transport workers experiences as part of our Remarkable Women Who Move The World project with @TUMInitiative and @WomenMobilize, it is important to highlight the every day reality for workers like Arame #WomenMobilize#ThisIsOurWorldToo ⬇️
When the Kenyan youths (Gen Z) organized nationwide peaceful protests to exercise their democratic right rejecting the proposed 2024/2025 Finance Bill, other groups with criminal minds took advantage of the situation and devised schemes to cause harm and economically frustrate fellow Kenyans.
Posing as demonstrators, the bad elements who were also well-organized earmarked several business premises including boutiques, electronic shops and supermarkets, breaking in and massively looting to the detriment of innocent business owners.
As a criminal investigative agency, it squarely falls within the mandate of the DCI to investigate and bring to book any persons involved in such outright criminality, which not only robbed numerous Kenyans their means of livelihood, but also worked towards compromising an otherwise crucial constitutional right.
In that regard, the DCI’s Imaging and Acoustic Unit domiciled at the National Forensic Laboratory has since retrieved numerous CCTV footages that captured identifiable persons, whose felonious acts isolates them from the hundreds of thousands that stuck to their course.
Whereas some have already been arrested and arraigned in various courts today, more are still out there on the streets waiting for other opportune times to strike again, causing more damage and risking the lives of innocent citizens caught up in the course of quelling the crimes.
We can flush them from amongst our numbers because they do not share the principles that define what we stand for, and more so for the sake of those who did not deserve to lose their only means of livelihood in this manner.
Do you know any of them? Please report to any police station or #FichuakwaDCI by calling our toll-free hotline 0800 722 203.

All women have a choice.
All young workers deserve to have a job.
All older workers deserve to retire with dignity.
Watch this powerful reminder of why we fight:
This morning I paid a courtesy call to H.E President William Ruto whereby we held discussions on Kenya's ratification of ILO C190 and outsourcing of labour. I also sought an appointment with the Head of State to meet and share with all @COTU_K Affiliated General Secretaries.
Please clarify.I can see you being sued for Damages.
Once a change of user has been made from residential to commercial,it is no longer a residential place. That particular unit becomes commercial and if licences had been given and paid for,then you are in a fix bro.
Has it ever been considered working with organisations like ITF(international transport workers federation)to change the livelihoods of the workers like the seafearers and fisheries cos they have the actual figures?#BlueEconomyKE
