• 30 Mar 2022 in Senate: My apologies, Madam Temporary Speaker. You know I--- view
• 30 Mar 2022 in Senate: My apologies, but this one I was trying to emphasis is not casual. I treat the Senate of the Republic of Kenya seriously. I always believe the consumers of what we debate here are ordinary Kenyans who would like to be on the same page. However, I would restrict myself to the language I started with. I hope Sen. Sakaja, will in future ensure how our primary consumers get that in a simpler version. I was just asking what happens, for example, when you are working in a hardware in Kirinyaga Road and your boss says you shall work up ... view

• 30 Mar 2022 in Senate: (a) shall not be obliged to respond and shall have the right to disconnect; or (b) may choose to respond, for which the employee shall be entitled to get compensation" So if you have left, you can just switch off your phone, Sen. Wambua, and attend to your other issues. I may choose to respond; it is up to you. If, today, we decide at 6.30 pm, here that secretariat remains; if you have agreed they have a right to disconnect, then that is very important. The provisions of this Bill shall not apply to the provision of essential services. ... view

• 30 Mar 2022 in Senate: It is good to note that the Chairman of Committee of Labour and Social welfare Sen. Sakaja is here and he gave a good report. The way forward on this, the whole amendment, I am not talking about this specific provision, is Kshs500,000 or to one year. Employers will start behaving because to commit contravention if this is assented to, then you will be paid very good money. This is a straightforward amendment. I wish to conclude in the next two to three minutes because I know my colleagues would want to comment on this. Therefore, out of work hours ... view
• 30 Mar 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, my advice to labour movements and trade unions is that they should look into the relationship of employees and their employers. In my county, when they are hiring casual labourers, they tell them to sign a contract yet they do not know the pay, the task allocated, when to be paid and the length of the contract. Most of the counties have been violating this provision. Therefore, it is important to ensure that employees are protected. The Committee on Labour and Social Welfare tried to tackle this issue when they were discussing the issue of the Early ... view

• 30 Mar 2022 in Senate: What does the ‘right to disconnect’ mean? I saw people comment and say when you leave on Friday 5.00 p.m., you have a right to switch off or disconnect up to the next time.
