A section of Nakumatt employees on Tuesday held their demonstrations along Mombasa Rd heading to Nakumatt Holdings headquarters demanding payment for June and July.

The staffs claim they haven’t received payment for the two months and now demand payments from their top bosses.

Nakumatt has urged its employees to return to their stations, saying the strike is illegal.
“A section of staff have not reported to their workstations. From a management perspective, that’s an illegal and unprotected strike. Management reserves the right to pursue the necessary disciplinary action,” a statement read in part.
“Management remains in contact with the Union and staff are advised to return to work and avoid jeopardizing ongoing restructuring efforts.”
