Ana Kwa Ana: A Creatives' Hangout
Topic: Navigating Workplace Exploitation: Legal Steps to Take When Facing Unlawful Termination, Pay Reductions, or Role Exploitation
Workplace exploitation in the creative and professional industry often happens quietly—whether it's disguised independent contractor deals, sudden salary cuts, expanded workloads without extra pay, or hostile work environments designed to push you out. Knowing your legal standing and documentation rights is essential to protecting your career.
Join us for the 9th edition of Ana Kwa Ana, a space for creatives to gather, learn, and safeguard their work.
In this practical, action-focused session, Richu Gathungu (Advocate of the High Court of Kenya & Managing Partner at Ogada, Richu Advocates) will break down the exact legal framework governing employment in Kenya. Drawing from over 100 handled employment cases, Richu will walk us through the full life-cycle of employment conflicts—from understanding your true contract classification to responding to legal notices, navigating disciplinary panels, and taking legal recourse.
