• 11 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I did not quite understand what she meant by saying that so and so could leave a trade union. But in this country, non-workers actually leave trade unions. view
• 11 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: What is she saying? view
• 11 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, could I consult my officers? view

• 11 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: October 11, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 4443 view
• 11 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 10 of the Bill be amended - (a) by deleting the expression (1); (b) in paragraph (b) - (i) by deleting the words "National Labour Court"; (ii) by deleting the words "in accordance with the provisions of the Labour Institutions Act". view
• 11 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I stand to object to the proposed amendment by Prof. Ojiambo. This is on the basis that the Registrar must be allowed to consult with the existing trade unions and the federation of employers as part of social dialogue under ILO Convention 144. Without such consultations, there will be an unnecessary duplication of the trade unions in industries or sectors where workers already have representation. This will lead to confusion, kill the spirit and the practice of the tripartite consultations, which are key to sound labour administration. view
• 11 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, there exists legal provisions where an unpopular decision by the Registrar of Trade Unions can be challenged in court. The issue of proliferation is something we have seen in our political system. The issue of proliferation of trade unions does not necessarily make them efficient or even representative. In fact, they may be ethnic or intended for profit making, among other issues. So, I still insist that the Registrar of Trade Unions should be allowed time to consult as widely as possible before a trade union is registered. view
• 11 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I object to the amendment for the same reason that I offered for the previous one. view
• 11 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I accept this amendment, except that in part (a) she refers to :the National Labour Court" which we have consistently replaced with "the Industrial Court". So, either she deletes part (a) or she re-aligns it with the rest of the Bill by referring to the Industrial Court instead of the National Labour Court. view
