Salaried employees in Kenya who become jobless will get a fraction of their pay for six months from a State-backed fund aimed at cushioning workers laid off or are unable to work due to illness.
The Ministry of Labour says workers will be required to contribute to the yet to be formed Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF).
