    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Kururia is a young legislator. He is learning how to handle the ropes. Soon he will know the difference between the two, and at what point they are raised. This is a Bill that has a lot of interest and we can debate on it slightly more, before the Mover is called upon to reply. The Labour Relations Act is enforced by our employment courts. They are not criminal but civil courts. If anybody breaches this Section, which court is going to be charged with arbitrating between the parties on their rights especially when it comes to criminal justice? Would an aggrieved party go to the Department of Criminal Investigations, the police or the Director of Public Prosecutions to complain where the Director of Public Prosecutions would prefer a criminal case against the offending party or go to the Labour Relations Court, file a civil complaint for the person to be held liable and award damages. This is a Bill which in my estimation has not been properly thought out. It is not in consonance with our employment laws, and needs to be rejected. I oppose this Bill in totality."
