Several people were injured during a confrontation between security officers and workers of the West Kenya sugarcane mill in Kakamega county who were participating in a strike to push for the implementation of their CBA calling for salary increase.
The security officers had to use force and tear gas to disperse the workers during the Friday incident.
The workers had wanted to forcibly eject their colleagues who chose to go to work, labeling them as traitors.
The management of the factory, through the communication manager George Muruli, regretted the incident, adding that a permanent solution would be sought to resolve the dispute.
Activities have been suspended at the factory for three days now.
