    "content": "Yes, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. There are two issues arising from what hon. Chepkong’a is saying. One, he is saying that he wants these amendments to align the Act with the Constitution. This is what took place when the law on the industrial court was first enacted. This was to operationalize Article 162 of the Constitution. Every consideration was made to ensure that the Act conforms with the Constitution. But more importantly, if you look at some of these amendments that are being proposed, you will find that they have far reaching consequences. For example, Section 15(5) of the Act states that in the exercise of its powers under this Act, the court shall be bound by the national wage guidelines on minimum wages and standards of employment and other terms and conditions of employment that may be issued from time to time by the Cabinet Secretary for the time being responsible for Finance."
