    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to seek your guidance because I am strongly opposed to these amendments as proposed. I want to bring to the attention of this House that the very amendments that are before the House came in the Tenth Parliament. All of them were thrown out on the basis that there had been no prior consultations between the consumers of the services of the Industrial Court, namely, the employers and workers in this country. This is a requirement under the employment Act. It is a requirement in the Constitution with regard to people’s participation. It is a requirement of the international Labour Convention No.144 which is duly ratified by the Government of Kenya and, therefore, forms part of the laws of Kenya. On the same basis, I am aware that there have no consultations before these same amendments are introduced between the social partners. If we proceed on this basis, we will not only be imposing these amendments on the consumers of the services of the Industrial Court---"
