    "content": "Nobody requested. In fact, I was with some members of the representative body of the County Service Board this afternoon and they told me that they will meet SRC tomorrow and they have not been told by the SRC whether they are State officers or public officers yet they were being asked to go to Parliament and pass a law. They have been given power to advise and instead of advising they are throwing people into the wild and not telling them what they are supposed to do. We are saying that the SRC cannot give advice on its own Motion. That advise must be sought. The other one is with regard to negotiated Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs) with various institutions. What these Regulations are seeking to do is to make it mandatory that before you negotiate CBA, you must first seek advice. That is reading the law upside down. You first negotiate and then go to the SRC to tell them what you have negotiated, then ask them whether you are within the limits. You seek their advice. That is redundant advice that is being sought because you do not know how much Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU) and the rest of those representing workers are going to ask. So, you must first sit, discuss and agree. We are saying that the Regulations offend the Constitution. They are in contravention of the enabling Act, the Statutory Instruments Act, and our own Standing Orders. They must, therefore, be rejected.
