Manufacturers have proposed the creation of an unemployment insurance fund to offer relief to workers who lose jobs to unforeseen crises such as the coronavirus pandemic.

In a policy proposal, the Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM) says such a scheme will see workers who are involuntarily forced out of work continue earning some income for the time they are unemployed or work part-time.
