A significant milestone in strengthening labour relations has been achieved today, 2nd September 2026, as the County Government of Nakuru signed a Recognition Agreement with the Union of Kenya Civil Servants (UKCS).
The agreement provides a formal framework for structured engagement between the County Government and the Union on matters affecting employees, including representation, consultation, employee welfare, working conditions, and constructive resolution of workplace concerns.
The Union delegation was led by Secretary-General Mr. Lawrence Nyaguti Ochieng, accompanied by National Chairman Mr. Geoffrey Kipyego Korir; Deputy National Treasurer Mr. Ambrose Kibet Kiboror; Rift Valley/South Rift Regional Representative Mrs. Leah Chepkemoi Rotich; and Nakuru Branch Secretary Mrs. Patricia Akinyi Oloo, together with other branch officials.
The County Government delegation was led by the County Secretary, alongside relevant county representatives.
Importantly, Nakuru County becomes the third county to enter into a Recognition Agreement with the Union of Kenya Civil Servants, following Kakamega and Trans Nzoia Counties.
The signing marks an important step towards institutionalizing dialogue, mutual respect, cooperation and good-faith engagement between the employer and employees.
