• 30 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to apologize for coming late. It was due to the checks at the gate. It took some time for the security officers to check my vehicle. However, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that M/s Kenya Tanning Extract Company Limited ceased its operations on 31st December, 2008. The company had 34 employees. Of which 25, were unionisable. All their severance pay dues were calculated, but some declined to collect.

• 30 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are willing to deposit the Kshs3 million but the employees are demanding something more than that. That is why the matter is in court. view

• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Question had fully been replied to last week. However, there was only one remaining issue regarding the employer depositing Kshs3 million with the Ministry of Labour so that the employees can be paid. I request for about two weeks so that the parties involved can register a consent in the Industrial Court. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know whether you have heard what I have said. view
• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: I said that we had handled this matter last week almost to its logical conclusion. The only remaining part was that the employer was supposed to deposit Kshs3 million with the Ministry of Labour. We have since discussed and come to a conclusion that we give the parties ample time - about two weeks - so that they can register a consent with the Industrial Court and then the matter can be sorted out. view
• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think Mr. Kiema Kilonzo should know that this is a very difficult Ministry. It is a tripartite kind of Ministry, unlike others. It involves three parties; the employer, the employees and the Government. Therefore, making those heads come to one conclusion does not take a day.

However, to handle this matter faster, we want all the parties concerned to come, we talk, register a consent at the ... view
• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you know it is the employees whom he is representing now who took the employer to court. We have to bring the employees and the employer together so that they can come to a logical conclusion. Once they agree, the Ministry will move very fast and register the consent. The money will be deposited and we shall pay them even before Christmas. view
• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, it is the Ministry which advised the employees to proceed to the Industrial Court. That is because after arbitration fails, that is the next stage we move to. So, what the hon. Member is saying is true. We want to ensure that those employees are paid their dues. The employer is willing; it is only that we have to register a consent before a Judge of the Industrial Court. That is all. view
