Soda ash producer Tata Chemicals is set to spend more than Sh1 billion to retrench 200 workers by the end of this month when it expects to have closed one of its factories.

The Indian-owned firm is currently in talks with the affected workers and unions over the impending retrenchments, with the compensation negotiations set to be completed in three weeks.
