Local media station Mt Kenya TV employees are going through tough economic times as they haven’t received their salaries for four months now. Considering that the station was launched just 8 months ago, it means that the employees have only been paid 4 months of their time there. To make matters worse, many of the top anchors were poached from other leading media houses.
The Staff was warned that if they leave the station, then they have forfeited their unpaid dues for the 4 months. Such ways of treating employees should be Shunned and these kind of employers deserve nothing less than to be put behind bars for exploitation. #HarassmentAtMtKenyaTV

It is very Heartbreaking that even after raising the issues about the Mt.Kenya TV employees being harassment and unpaid, The Media Council of Kenya & Kenya Union of Journalists are still quiet on this issue. Why are they silent? Have they been intimidated?#HarassmentAtMtKenyaTV https://t.co/BYh3ZidGww pic.twitter.com/XyIUrVFohQ

It's surprising to see the kind of treatment employees are currently receiving considering how the station promised the poached top media personalities a good life there. #HarassmentAtMtKenyaTV pic.twitter.com/MFIMlFsb8T

This is an employer who threatens that if you leave you forfeit the unpaid 4 months of salary.
What are these people expected to do? They have families to feed and probably are servicing loans.#HarassmentAtMtKenyaTV @KTNNewsKE @VictorMocherehttps://t.co/wUqjn1Wii6

Further more, the Staff hasn't been paid for over 4 months and upon asking for their dues, they are either insulted, called ungrateful fools for not appreciating being given the opportunity to kick start their careers and some are even fired! #HarassmentAtMtKenyaTV pic.twitter.com/hSYcjHCbOX
