"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what is even worse is that in these times of economic crisis we cannot hope and expect workers will take all kinds of inconveniences and disadvantage, while lying down when others who are well placed, are compensated. All employees are expected to survive even when inflation and other adverse changes come about. There is a limit to how far you can push people as we have seen in the case of the Kenya Airways staff. We may think they went too far, but those kinds of disparities are not understandable and cannot be tolerated in a modern society. We expect the Ministry to train labour officers. Is it that there are no people who are willing to be trained as labour officers? There are certain things that do not add up. Coupled with this is the way we treat the funds for employees, like retirement benefits. For example, NSSF has always been a cash cow. The cash cows are not workers. They are employers. They are the people who have the responsibility to ensure that the rights of employees are respected."
