• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I could provide that specific information, maybe, in the next few days to the hon. Member, if it is necessary to him. view
• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg your indulgence that this Question be deferred until Tuesday next week to allow more consultation on this matter with the Member of Parliament and my office, to find ways of resolving this matter with the relevant authorities. view
• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Thursday next week is okay. view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is my wish that this Question is concluded today because the last time it was answered, we tabled the documents. The hon. Member was supposed to interrogate the Minister. So, I will sit down and wait for the questions. view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is nothing stopping the Ministry of Labour from working on these regulations. As I said the last time, this matter is in the Attorney-General’s Office. We want to be given more time to conclude them. It is a very critical document for this country. The issues of child labour are all over this country. Therefore, we need enough time for the Attorney-General’s Office to fast track this process and finish it for gazettement. view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, my Ministry lacks enough resources to undertake the kind of job it is supposed to do to curb this menace. As you know, we have only prosecuted four cases. Since we do not have that capacity, we are providing counseling and advice to parents. I have only 71 enforcement officers. I need 250 officers to do this job. I have allocated one officer per county, but it is not enough. So, we are doing a lot in terms of advice and counseling those affected. view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, through our officers on the ground, we have sensitized the public. We have workshops and seminars. We work with the Provincial Administration and political leaders to ensure that the public is aware of these laws. view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we will definitely fast track this issue with the Attorney-General. Maybe give us a month to work with the Attorney- General’s Office. I know the regulations are ready. It is just to ensure they conform to the Constitution. So we are doing something in the next one month to ensure that we do it. view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think what is needed is the rules. We want to prioritize the rules. We will use our social partners, COTU, FKE, the Office of the Attorney-General and the Ministry of Labour to fast track the finalization of these rules. view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have already said we have only 71 enforcement officers out of a need of 250. We will sensitize the public. We work with the Provincial Administration, the chiefs and political leaders to educate them on this matter. That is the only thing we can do. To protect ourselves from these problems, we must use other people who have the capacity. view
