The Government of Kenya 🇰🇪 has committed to fast-tracking the ratification of ILO Conventions 189 and 190, following a national tripartite social dialogue and consultation process involving key stakeholders, including our affiliate Kenya Union of Domestic, Hotels, Education Institutions & Hospital Workers. The next step is to submit the proposals to the Cabinet for approval before they are forwarded to Parliament for deliberation.
