I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.48(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare on the implementation status of the Government set minimum wage guidelines in the country. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) State the level of implementation of the set minimum wage guidelines as enshrined under Article 41(2)(a) of the Constitution, particularly for employees on contract and those working for companies providing outsourced services. (2) Provide details on how personnel from the National Youth Service (NYS) are remunerated especially those assigned to provide security services in major Government installations, buildings and parastatals. (3) Give reasons as to why students from the NYS, sponsored by the Government to colleges, were sent home due to delays in paying school fees. (4) Explain measures taken by the national Government to ensure that staff working in companies that are contracted to provide services to organisations adhere to minimum wage guidelines and also make timely statutory payments on behalf of their employees."
