Law Society of Kenya (LSK) President Faith Odhiambo has paid tribute to the Kenyan workforce in a powerful Labour Day message, commending their resilience, innovation, and patriotic contribution to the nation’s progress.
Speaking in a statement released on Wednesday, Odhiambo described the country’s working population as the "backbone of the economy and the wellspring of posterity and prosperity," highlighting their unwavering dedication in the face of mounting economic and social challenges.
“Kenya's working population is characterised by resilience, dedication, diligence, innovation, and industry,” said Odhiambo. “It is these characteristics that have kept our economy as robust and functional as it is, despite the exponential challenges that have arisen or been engineered against the workers of our country.”
As the nation marked Labour Day with parades, speeches, and celebrations honoring workers' rights and achievements, Odhiambo emphasized the deeper significance of work, calling it a patriotic and constitutional duty that goes beyond individual needs.
“May we remember that the work we do not only serves our individual needs and interests but is part of our constitutional, patriotic duty to our nation,” she stated.
The LSK President’s message comes at a time when many Kenyan workers continue to face economic pressures, job insecurity, and rising costs of living. Her remarks aim to boost morale and reaffirm the central role of workers in Kenya’s socio-economic fabric.
“Happy Labour Day to all of you,” she concluded, expressing gratitude on behalf of the legal fraternity and encouraging continued commitment to building a stronger Kenya.
