• 16 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am actually just about to finish. What I am saying is this: Since this Board is not--- If we knew we are going to create a body when we were, first of all, crafting the 4518 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES October 16, 2007 Employment Bill in its original form; if we knew we were going to get into this particular aspect, which is a financial aspect, the original Bill would have captured that aspect, so that, at least, we would then include, in the proposed Board, a specially qualified persons who would then be qualified to ... view
• 16 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to say that with the passage of this Bill, we have done the work of updating of our employment and labour laws in this country. I want to congratulate the Minister and his team for this achievement. When the five Bills were published and placed in our pigeon holes all at the same time, we thought that these Bills could never see the light of day. Therefore, I feel that today is a great day that we have been able to pass the last of the five Bills. I think it is good. ... view

• 11 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I have a Supplementary Order Paper and all the amendments to Clause 5 appear to be proposed by the mover.

• 11 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, let me just seek some clarifications. I just want to understand from Prof. Ojiambo. She is saying that those representatives will all be elected. For instance, one representative of the Kenya Medical Association elected by the Association; one representative of the Kenya Coalition for Action in Nutrition elected by the Coalition; and then, the more curious one is: One representative of faculties of nutrition and dietetics of public universities elected at a meeting of the faculties convened by the Kenya Coalition for Action in Nutrition. I just want to understand the following: In the event ... view

• 11 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, Prof. Ojiambo's amendment in part (b) reads:- (b) by deleting paragraphs (d) and (e) and substituting therefor the following - "(d) approve institutions as institutions for the purpose of training persons seeking registration under this Act;". Is it "approve" or "approved"? Maybe, Prof. Ojiambo could explain. view
• 11 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think the proposed amendment is introducing something that has already been deleted. It says that the matter may be referred to the National Labour Court. We have already done away with any references to such a court. Therefore, I think even if the amendment was to be carried, it would still be making reference to something that is not in existence. I would propose to Prof. Ojiambo to delete "the National Labour Court" and in place thereof insert "the Industrial Court". view

• 11 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to thank the Minister and the team that was involved in actually updating the Work Injury Benefits Bill. I believe it is repealing the Workman's Compensation Act and, therefore, actually updating and bringing to par our laws relating to the compensation to workers when they are injured at their work places. I, therefore, want to welcome this Bill and say that it is a great achievement. Let me also warn the Minister that, in future, when he wants to bring Bills, they must be tidy. This Bill has given us a lot ... view
