    "content": "At the time the claimants were filing the suit in the year 1988, New KCC Ltd was not in existence and, therefore, was not a party to the suit. Similarly, New KCC Ltd having not been in existence when the claimants were in employment, it was clearly not their employer. The said claimants were employees of KCC Ltd and not New KCC. Ltd., thus cannot be compensated by an organization they did not work for. New KCC Ltd and KCC Ltd cannot be said to be one and the same in law. Mr. Speaker, Sir, arresting orders that was subsequently issued on 15th November, 2005 was vested free from all encumbrances. In accordance with the Transfer of Business Act (TBA) Section 3 a public notice was done and was printed in the DailyNation on 28/6/2005 in regard to the Government's purchasing the business and assets of KCC (2000) Ltd. The employees did not object the notice to claim their dues as is required by the law and thus Section 8 of the same Act came into effect that a claimant cannot institute a claim in respect of any liability upon expiry of six (6) month. ln the year 2013, the claimants filed a suit Nairobi No.1299/2013 John Kahiato Bari & 108 Others Versus New KCC Ltd & The Attorney General seeking to be paid a sum of Kshs.204,417,555.50 at the High Court.
