    "content": "First, the KBC management gave out a 21 per cent pay increase to its employees on 10th February, 2012. The management has already effected 9 per cent pay and backdated that to July, 2011. The employees have been assured that the remaining 12 per cent will be effected beginning July this year when the new financial year commences. The corporation also took a bold step of signing a recognition agreement with the Communication Workers Union of Kenya (CWUK). However, the employees have disowned this union and are seeking another union. This is their democratic right and one that would help the workers channel their grievances through the right body. The Ministry takes cognizance of the fact that the KBC staff have raised issues to do with grades, salaries and allowances. We have made proposals to the Treasury to pay for the public broadcaster and we hope they will address this matter in the shortest time possible. However, as you are aware, the budgetary process takes time and we have to give the Treasury time to handle this matter."
