    "content": "factors other than the global economic meltdown. You will recall last year’s post-election violence. You will also recall the drought which adversely affected our country and, therefore, reduced our economic growth to 1.7 per cent last year compared to other East African countries which were, though affected a little by the global economic meltdown, theirs was around 5 per cent. We are, therefore, not in a position to say that the employers cannot lay off workers if the economic situation does not improve. However, we hope that this year, we are going to improve on our growth from 1.7 per cent to 3 per cent. This will gradually bring back the employment levels to where they were. But we are not able to force employers to keep people in employment when the situation does not warrant it."
