Security firm G4S Kenya has raised a red flag on inconsistent compliance with labour laws, warning that it is distorting competition and trapping hundreds of thousands of guards in poverty-level earnings.
Laurence Okelo, the chief executive of G4S Kenya, said that the sector, which is estimated to employ nearly one million guards, remains fragmented and poorly regulated, with some firms defying the rules on salaries, house allowance, and overtime.
