The Dock Workers Union national treasurer Joseph Makero has blocked the Sh6.67 million hefty package for outgoing officials. The national treasurer is part of the NEC and would have benefitted from the package. The aspirants, led by Kanga Maganga said the election date is most likely to fall on Idd-ul-Fitr which will mean low turnout. The union’s NEC on Tuesday settled on the election date after months of speculation and accusations of deliberate delay. These include the national chairperson, vice-chairperson, general secretary, assistant general secretary, national gender chairperson, national treasurer, assistant national treasurer, three trustees, two young workers and zonal gender committee member.
