    "content": "(ii) Give reasons as to why the Cabinet Secretary for Labour and Social Protection has ignored applications by unions for the Agency Fee despite the said unions fulfilling the requirements as set out in sub-section (2) (a); (b); (c); and (d) of Section 49 of the Labour Relations Act? (iii) Why has the Cabinet Secretary for Labour and Social Protection failed to implement Section 49 of the Labour Relations Act, 2007 while at the same time the employers continue to offload membership from union registers or withdrawing check-off, making it extremely difficult for unions to organise and conduct their programmes as provided for in Article 41 of the Constitution despite some unions obtaining court orders compelling the Cabinet Secretary to award Agency Fee which he has ignored? (iv) Explain why the Cabinet Secretary for Labour and Social Protection is undermining the role of trade unions in negotiations of labour matters for their members, violating labour laws, the Constitution and ILO Convention 98 on freedom and rights of trade unions? (v) When the Agency Fee will be gazetted dully for all the unions that have negotiated and concluded Collective Bargaining Agreements to ensure industrial peace in the sector? I thank you Hon. Speaker."
