I am happy about the Bill because it obligates county governments to play a role. When the two levels of government are involved and have a role to play, then this industry will mushroom and it will be of benefit to all Kenyans. Mr. Temporary Speaker, according to this Bill, relevant county governments will need to have a register of cotton farmers which is important. Apart from cotton farmers, even those dealing in businesses to do with cotton will be required to be registered. If they are registered and licensed, then there will be sobriety in the industry and we ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to add my thoughts to this Bill. Sen. Cherargei, has come up with a Bill that really needs a lot of in-depth thinking in the sense that we have loyalty of employees that is commitment.

Commitment of employees can lead to productivity in an organization. Even an organization that was not doing very well can come up very strongly when employees are loyal. Loyalty and commitment of employees goes beyond what is expected of employees. Sometimes employees might even be expected to use some of their spare time to ensure that the operations of the organization run smoothly.

As we think of this Bill, there is need to put into consideration the issue of employee commitment because employers are naturally inclined towards employees who are committed to their task. They will even want to give them incentives and make their work conditions better and all that.

Madam Temporary Speaker, there is need to see that this Bill is not bringing friction with regard to the relationship between employers and employees. In as much as employees have rights, employers also have rights and expectations from their employees.

30 Mar 2022 in Senate:
One of the things that most employers would like to see is that employees depicting a good image for the organization. An image in terms of productivity, discipline and working beyond the expected time. So, there is need to think through this Bill so that it does not bring conflict.

There are instances when employees are called upon just to show their loyalty to organisations. Let me give an example of a classroom situation where, for example, you are a lecturer in a university and there is delay in the printing of the exam papers while you are supervising the exam. If that exam delays and starts at 5.00 p.m. instead of 3.00
