• 13 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: When this Question came up last time, the Attorney-General promised that he was going to fast-track the gazettement of those draft rules, which we have already presented to him. I have just talked to him right now. He has said that by Friday, he will have gazetted those draft rules and regulations. So, Mrs. Odhiambo-Mabona should bear with us a little while again. view
• 8 Dec 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 Dec 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

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
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: A minimum of a week, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: it is not good to give a maximum. That is because I will be lying to this House. I would say until they are paid. I want to ensure that those employees are paid. view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have done that previously and Mr. Kabogo knows it. I have assisted most of his employees and they have been paid. He should also confess that. view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, because even the courts are going for the Christmas Holiday, let me give an undertaking that these people will be paid. view
