"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think Mr. Kiema Kilonzo should know that this is a very difficult Ministry. It is a tripartite kind of Ministry, unlike others. It involves three parties; the employer, the employees and the Government. Therefore, making those heads come to one conclusion does not take a day. That is why I am saying that this matter is before the Industrial Court, which is part of the Ministry of Labour. Therefore, the matter is being handled. However, to handle this matter faster, we want all the parties concerned to come, we talk, register a consent at the High Court and then we sort it out. It is as easy as that. Otherwise, if we left it in the Industrial Court, it will take another year or so. I have agreed with Mr. Kabogo that, in a week’s time, we shall have registered a consent and those people will be paid their money. That is what we are after."

A week is not so much as long as after that week, he will not take another chance to ask for a further adjournment. Those people should, at least, be paid before Christmas so that, once in many years, they can enjoy their Christmas. May he give an undertaking on the date?"

I availed documents to him showing that it is his department that asked the employees to go to court because they had nothing to do. After telling the employees to go to court, he is coming now and telling the House: “May they withdraw so that a consent can be granted.” He has put in the chicken and the egg at the same time. Let him make a firm undertaking that the consent will be recorded. Finished!"

The employer is willing; it is only that we have to register a consent before a Judge of the Industrial Court. That is all."
