EAPCC ‘un-sacks’ staff in bizarre turnaround

Print this page

Kenya: East Africa Portland Cement Company (EAPCC) has withdrawn a restructuring and staff rationalisation notice that it had earlier issued. The firm had sought to declare 800 employees redundant, with the aim of trimming its bloated wage bill.

“A replacement notice about the intended company restructuring and staff rationalisation, shall be circulated, in due course,” stated EAPCC’s acting managing director Stephen Nthei.
EAPCC is stuck in negative working capital with obligations maturing within the next 12 months outstripping current assets by US$71m. This potentially makes it difficult to service its short-term obligations.
