Are you aware that there has been conflicting communication to these employees? First, that they are not part of any kind of sale agreement. The second one, they were told that some of them will be absorbed.

This way, some of these questions would be answered, including the list of inventory of the assets and what was going to happen to the employees of KCC. Finally, as the Senate Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, we were against the interministerial working group or committee because there is nothing The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
