In a statement, signed by the NLC Deputy General Secretary, Mr. Chris Uyot, on behalf of the President, Ayuba Wabba, the NLC said the inability of the banks to address the crisis with the National Union of Banks, Insurance and Financial Institutions Employees prompted the union to take the current industrial action.
