Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Labour the following Question by Private Notice.

(a) What reasons do M/s Wilderness Lodges Ltd. have to require their employees' spouses to visit them only for two weeks and only after a two-weeks written notice to the management and to disallow children from visiting their parents who are employed at Samburu Lodge?

(b) What steps is the Minister taking against the firm, in view of this violation of the workers' rights, to ensure the same is stopped forthwith?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have a copy of the rules by Wilderness Lodges Limited to show the draconian rules that Kenyans are being subjected to. I would like to table it here.

The answer given by the Minister is not only misleading, but also disturbing. Samburu Lodge is not the only lodge in that area. If it is a question of insecurity because of wildlife, then that is within the mandate of the Kenya Wildlife Service. What is the point of subjecting the employees' relatives to these conditions? If it is an issue of security, why can the visitors not be subjected to security checks at the gate?

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. There are several other lodges in the December 11, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 4057 area. However, none of them is subjecting its employees' relatives to the kind of conditions that are being applied by the Wilderness Lodges. Why is this particular lodge putting such conditions? The Samburu Lodge has been there, since the colonial period. There has never been such conditions. The Minister has not responded to my question.
