Mr Philip Munyao, who was vending water during the poorly-attended event, said the day was just like any other. All the government is good at is imposing taxes, the latest being the 1.5per cent tax on salaries for the housing plan," said Mr Munyao. "Labour Day, as I can see from the presentations here, is a day when workers showcase their brands and take pride in what they do for the government and the private sector. "But the government should also say what it can or will do for workers, say by increasing their salaries and setting favourable laws," he said. "Corruption contributes a lot to the downwarping of our economy, making the lives of workers more difficult," said Mr Munyao.
