The Kenyan government has initiated a process to end maritime slavery by reviewing seafarers’ pay and working agreements which has not been done for almost three decades.
The move to develop new laws and regulations to govern the sector is aimed at ending extreme poor working conditions of more than 7,000 registered seafarers.
