In the 1930s, the colonial Government had a slight change in policy. It allowed formation of unions but in a very restricted and limited way, as far as rights and operations of workers were concerned. Pioneers like Fred Kubai, Makhan Singh and Bildad Kaggia seized the opportunity to start trade unions. The first trade union in Kenya was the Indian Trade Union set up by Singh. It soon broadened to embrace all races and trades. The Union later became the Labour Trade Union of Kenya with Singh being Secretary General (SG) and Fred Kubai being president. I celebrate all pioneer ...

Mr. Speaker Temporary Sir, thank you for giving me an opportunity to comment on the report from JLAC. This Committee has done a commendable job under the Chairmanship of Sen. Omogeni who he has been keen on legal issues that come on the floor of this House. He has also followed them to the very end. Legal issues are key in everyone’s life. At times people are treated unfairly at their places of work. Justice denied is justice delayed. Therefore, the Committee will be handy in ensuring that justice is done without delay. I have just realized that there are ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this Bill. I must truly say that I see this Bill coming in to ensure that there is effectiveness and efficiency in the way things are procured in organizations especially given that fact that the procurement department plays a very vital role in any organization. It is one of the arteries in any organization and without the process being smooth, effective and transparent, then things would collapse in any organization. This Bill comes out to ensure there is objectivity, impartiality and organization in the manner in which entities ...

Gideon Moi who talked about the Local Content Bill, that the procurement process should consider the locals instead of going for big multinational companies, giving them a chance and yet we also want our people to be employed. Therefore, this Bill is going to be a win-win situation for us as a country in the sense that the locals will have an opportunity to be ...
