• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 3(e) of the Bill be amended by deleting the term "trade union" and substituting therefor the following new definition:- "trade union" means an association of employees whose principal purpose is to regulate relations between employees and employers, including an employers organization. view

• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I want to respond to the question of the Employment Act. As far as we are concerned, we do not have an Employment Act. What we have are the Bills that have come before this House. There are five Bills - the Employment Bill being among them. So, we should make reference to this major Bill - the Labour Institutions Bill. Therefore, we should refer to this one and not those non-existent ones. view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 4 of the Bill be deleted. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the reason for that is that the institutions involved are also covered by the Constitution of Kenya and, therefore, this clause will be in contravention of the Constitution of Kenya. view

• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Clause 4 reads as follows:- 4.(1) this Act shall not apply to- (a) the armed forces or the reserve as respectively defined in the Armed Forces Act; (b) the Kenya Police, the Kenya Prisons Service or the Administration Police Force; and, (c) the National Youth Service, but subject to the foregoing, the Act shall bind the Government. Because all those are arms of the Government, we do not need to apply them here. That is because the Government does not have to head into trade union business and, therefore, we want to say the whole of this clause be deleted. view
