"content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I think we should send a message to the Kenya Railways Corporation and remind them the precursor of the Kenya-Uganda Railway which was started a long time ago during those days when slavery was still rampant in these parts of Africa. Maybe, they still have that mentality of mistreating employees purely because they have an upper bargaining power. They used to have a railway line from Kenya to Uganda notoriously known as the ‘Lunatic Express’. This was some form of madness which possibly still lingers in their minds today as they treat these old employees in the most unfair and unjust manner. There is the issue of limitation which has been raised. I am happy to say that as we speak, the labour relations laws are quite lenient on issues of limitation. Therefore, they should not fall back on the old employment laws because most have been repealed. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
