    "content": " Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Labour regarding the unfair labour practices by Diamond Leisure Lodge Beach and Golf Resort formerly known as Leisure Beach and Golf Resort. Article 41(1) of the Constitution provides that every person has the right to fair labour practices. Every worker has the right to fair remuneration, and reasonable working conditions, among others. Despite the above stated constitutional safeguards, Diamond Leisure Lodge Beach and Golf Resort continues to subject its employees to unfair labour practices. The Kenya Union of Domestic Hotels, Educational Institutions, Hospitals and Allied Workers (KUDHEIHA), Ukunda Branch, has severally received complaints by staff on the violation of workers’ rights. They disregard employment laws by paying workers poorly, unfair termination of employment and non-implementation of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) of 2019 to March 2020. The Union at various stages has tried to engage consultative meetings with the hotel to resolve the issue brought forward by the staff unfairly terminated by the hotel and to ensure adherence to implementation of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). Efforts of the Union have, however, been futile considering individuals such as Mr Wycliffe Jumaisi, John Jira, Ms Margaret Laban, Mr Lazarus Shangawa, Mr Kachocho Mare, Mr Idi Ali, Mr Kenneth Wanyonyi, Mr John Dalu and Mr Laban Litlitunda, are yet to be paid their terminal dues upon their unfair termination. It is against this background that I seek a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Labour on the following: 1. What action has been taken to ensure that Leisure Lodge Beach Resort complies with the Shop-Level (Service-Level) Agreement entered into on 9th August 2021 with the Kenya Union of Domestic Hotels, Educational Institution and Hospital Workers Union, as well as implementation of the CBA of 2019 to March 2020. 2. Why the hotel formerly known as Leisure Lodge Beach Hotel has unlawfully failed to make payments of terminal dues and arrears of the stated employees and provide time lines when the payment will be received. 3. Explain whether compensation provided by their employer is for the unfair treatment and their experience. Thank you."
