Kenya employers say no more job cuts

In June, the government announced measures aimed at stemming job losses and creating employment as a way of cushioning the economy from weakening further.

The measures included those aimed at stimulating labour demand, supporting job seekers and the unemployed, expanding social protection and food security.

In his 2009/2010 budget speech, Finance minister Uhuru Kenyatta announced a multi-billion shilling fiscal stimulus package aimed at creating jobs and shielding the weakening economy from a further slide.
