    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to put it on record that this is one of my happiest days because I appointed a task force to review all the labour laws in this country, which were archaic and did not meet the modern deeds of the Kenyan society. The task force, chaired by Justice Said Cockar and eminent people in the labour fraternity, made recommendations and actually drafted six different pieces of legislation. This is the first of those new pieces of legislation governing labour laws in this country, which this House is now going to pass. I know that Parliament will enact this law when the President gives consent. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it, therefore, gives me great pleasure that this Bill has now been passed. I would like, first of all, to thank the Minister for Labour and Human Resource Development and members of the task force who drafted the Bill. More importantly, I would like to thank the Permanent Secretary and his staff for having expedited implementation of the recommendations made by that task force. I want to put my record on them. I also would like to appeal to the House to go through the Committee Stage of the remaining Bills as expeditiously under the able chairmanship of Mr. Gor Sungu."
