• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, with due respect, what I said was in furtherance of what my friend, Mr. Muturi said; that certain sections of the Employment Act are going to be abolished by some of the laws we have debated here. Therefore, I am not actually opposing. I was just trying to expound more on that! view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, whereas that further amendment to the amendment by the Minister does not make much difference--- It amplifies!. Let us, for once, know that we are making laws. These laws are actually subject to a clean-up when they are actually being written. The meaning is not going to be changed by that addition or substraction. That is because the definition is:- "includes a deputy registrar or an assistant registrar of trade unions". In other words, those two officers will have the capacity to act as the Registrar of Trade Unions. So, there is not much difference ... view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the deletion of the entire Clause 4 would be very dangerous! view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am opposing that deletion, and I want to give my reasons. Security is of major importance. We believe that the various arms of the Kenya Armed Forces have their own Acts which guide them as to where their labour issues can be taken.

On those grounds, I beg to oppose and hope that Dr. Manduku will understand and withdraw his amendment. view

• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, allow me to apologise that I called the Chair. This is mainly because I am a short man and I--- view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we need the Minister to explain why he is proposing this amendment. He simply moved his amendment without explaining whatsoever what he wants to do. What is the purpose of putting this in the original Bill and then now come to delete the fact that the Government has to be bound by the Act? That is, in my own opinion, unacceptable in the most extreme terms. The Minister, if he needs any assistance, can call any of us to help him, but there are Ministers who can help him. He ought to explain in good ... view

• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. If I may help, this is very clear to me because I have got both the Bill and the Order Paper. What Dr. Kulundu initially wanted to delete is the entire Clause 4, which we negated because he withdrew it. What the Minister was proposing to amend was Clause 4(1)(a), which is actually the last two lines after (c). That is what he wanted us to delete. We debated the matter and you put the Question, which was carried. So, there is no point of going back. Therefore, the other ... view
