    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Labour on the following:- (a)Why the Minister has ignored the provisions of Section 46 of the Labour Institutions Act, No.12 of 2007 that require him to lay before the National Assembly within 21 days the publication of the regulations he published on 18th June, 2010 as Legal Notice No.96 of 2010 titled the “Basic Minimum Consolidated Wages; Agricultural Industry Regulation 2010”. (b)Why the Minister has in the Legal Notice No.96 of 2010 deliberately failed to separate the agricultural sector into its various categories including horticulture, floriculture and yet the law gives him the power to do so. (c)Whether the Minister is aware that the horticultural and floricultural sectors are unique and require separate consideration from the general agricultural sector owing to the level of exploitation by the workers in that particular sector. (d)Whether the Minister is aware that the returns from one stem rose flower exported is adequate to pay daily wages of up to five workers. (e)Whether he will withdraw Legal Notice No, 96 of 2010 and cause amendments to be made to cater for the peculiar circumstances in the horticultural sector."
