• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first and foremost I would like to apologize. I was not in the House to ask the Question the first time it was called. view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Labour:- (a) whether he is aware that M/s Kenya Tanning Extract Company Limited terminated the services of 21 workers with effect from 31st December, 2008, but has declined to pay them gratuity, redundancy or other dues; (b) when the former employees will be paid their dues; and, (c) what measures the Ministry will take to ensure that, in the event of closure of the company, the former employees are paid all their dues. view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, not exactly! That is because if you look at the HANSARD of 30th November, 2011, the Minister was asked to go and ask those people to deposit money in court, so that a consent can be recorded. If he is asking for a week to make sure that money is deposited--- I have spoken with the representative of the workers. He said that he should be able to record a consent if the money is deposited in court. Those people went to court because the money was not forthcoming. If the Assistant Minister wants the people ... view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister is truly pleading with the Chair to allow him a week. A week is not so much as long as after that week, he will not take another chance to ask for a further adjournment. Those people should, at least, be paid before Christmas so that, once in many years, they can enjoy their Christmas. May he give an undertaking on the date? view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister is misleading the House. I availed documents to him showing that it is his department that asked the employees to go to court because they had nothing to do. After telling the employees to go to court, he is coming now and telling the House: “May they withdraw so that a consent can be granted.” He has put in the chicken and the egg at the same time. Let him make a firm undertaking that the consent will be recorded. Finished! view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In any event, would I be in order to say that we grant him the two weeks on condition that within the two weeks a consent is registered? He asked for two weeks because we might not be here on Thursday. view
• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the list of people who travelled to Maputo was given by the Minister. I want him to tell the House whether all those people in this list actually travelled to Maputo. More so, in the boxing team, he should tell us whether a fellow by the name Joseph Njogu actually travelled with this team. The information we have is that he did not travel with the team. view
• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The first bit of my question was for the Minister to confirm to the House of the Republic of Kenya that the people listed here all of them travelled to Maputo and that there were no ghost travellers in this list. view
• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will repeat. Could the Minister confirm that all the people listed in the list he tabled actually travelled to Maputo? view
