• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Member for pointing out the limitation of the mandate of this Ministry in responding to this problem. I want to tell this House that I had requested for Kshs10 million for this particular department to undertake various programmes, but it never got a single cent. view
• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I can provide that answer later. I do not have the exact figures. view
• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when I came to this Ministry, the first thing I did was to finalize the child labour policy which was not in place. As I speak, the child labour policy has been submitted to the Cabinet. We have also gone ahead to formulate the National Steering Committee (NSC), which has helped us to review the activities and the progress we have made with the assistance of the Non-Governmental Organization (NGO’s) which are doing a very good job. It is a big challenge, but as I speak, we want to fast-track the child labour policy. With the assistance ... view
• 22 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am supposed to issue a Ministerial Statement sought to clarify the issue of the salary and allowance of the Central Organization of Trade Union (COTU) Secretary-General. I would like to inform the House that I am still getting information on that aspect. I have not found enough information and, therefore, I seek your indulgence because I would like to get an appropriate answer. So, I will issue that Statement next week. view
• 22 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 6 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the bank has not provided the actual reasons why Mr. Rogin was dismissed. But what my office was informed is that because of non-performance, the officer could not meet the target laid down by the bank. He was given a chance to prove himself severally, but could not do so. Therefore, his services were terminated. view
• 6 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is difficult to produce specific information about somebody’s contract or what was entailed in the performance contracting. I would not know what was actually put in that contract. After 13 years of performance, they tell us it was low performance. I would not prove because I do not know what was put down in the performance contract. view
• 6 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my Ministry is misunderstood to be a workers’ Ministry only. My Ministry entails protection of workers and employers. As we protect the workers of this country, we also need to protect employer’s capital. So, we will not accept a situation where somebody has not performed and then the Ministry goes there to protect somebody who is not performing. view
• 6 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this particular case, I would have protected Mr. Rogin Kiduya if he was not paid. However, the employment law was duly respected. He was paid pension, notice of his pay and the leave was also paid. This was respected. We, as a Ministry, try to enforce and ensure workers working specifically with employers and those under unions are actually paid within the laws. view
• 6 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when we got this answer; my own question as per this termination was whether Mr. Rogin was given a chance to appeal. I was told he was given a chance, but he could not improve his performance. You can have good performance at the beginning, but after 13 years, you go down with your performance. view
