The 100th session of the International Labour Organization (ILO) meeting has officially ended in Geneva, Switzerland.

During the three week long intense session world leaders among them Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, German Chancellor Angela Markel, President of Tanzania Jakaya Kikwete, President of Finland and her Switzerland counterpart graced the occasion in the United Nations General Assembly Hall.

A powerful Kenyan delegation under the tutelage of the COTU (K) Secretary General Francis Atwoli, Labour Minister John Munyes, Labour P.S Beatrice Kituyi and Federation of Kenya employers Chair Person Jackline Mugo were also in the attendance and gave key note addresses touching on the plight of Kenyan workers and how their welfare can be improved in the near future.

Various adoptions like that of domestic workers were made and only ratification from affiliated member countries is what remains.

The fiery COTU Secretary General also retained his powerful position in the ILO governing body a slot only equivalent to the Kenyan cabinet and whose mandate is to run the daily affairs of the ILO body.

Owing to that position, Atwoli will now be obliged to attend the ILO head quarters thrice in a year for crucial deliberations.

Meanwhile the General Secretary for the aviation who was also in attendance took issue with some private Kenyan companies for muzzling and victimizing shop stewards.

Nicholas Baraza mentioned Flower wing and Transami as the culprits in his brief address at the ILO Assembly Hall.
