The aggrieved workers in their hundreds swarmed the gates of the construction site demanding their pay after they said their Chinese employers and contracting company, Kuangdu Construction Company, reneged on their word to settle the workers. “Last year when we first started working, we had agreed that the Chinese pay us US$2.50 as overtime pay, which they would pay us at the end of our contract,” said Kounjue. That was what led to today’s protest action against the Kuangdu Construction Company,” the Senator said. Arriving at the construction site, a visibly upset Representative Kolubah admonished the Chinese paymasters that it was unethical for them to push the workers into protesting and causing the traffic jam and damage to properties. This process started three weeks ago when you agreed to pay the men, but then changed your mind.
