Thank you, Temporary Speaker. I stand to support the Report. The alcohol issue in Central Kenya is a menace. It is a big thing. Every family has a story of a person whom they have lost, or one who has become a zombie due to alcohol. As the Committee has...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am also in between about supporting or opposing the Bill. The Bill has many inconsistencies, mostly on issues that Members have raised, such as those related to appointments. An appointment to a parastatal or a Semi-Autonomous Government Agency (SAGA) does not need to come...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I take this opportunity to welcome the students from Sabasaba Secondary School. The area Member of Parliament is engaged in an activity in the constituency. I wish to tell them that they can also become Members of Parliament. It is one of the schools that...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, let me continue to second the Bill. I am seconding the rejection of the Employment (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No. 11 of 2022) by the Committee. Hon. Temporary Speaker, the Bill is about the right to disconnect. It says that you cannot engage a worker after their...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. First of all, I want to thank all the Members of this House who have contributed to the Bill. They have greatly enriched it. We have received a lot of information that was overlooked such as how one cannot convert an employment dispute from a...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I wish to second the rejection of the Bill. We went through it at the Committee level. It has some terms which are very critical. It says that a person should not pick up a call after work. However, it says he can only pick a call,...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I support the Report of the Committee. There are SAGAs which are working, especially those under ministries with activities; but others are just using Government money. My prayer is that we revisit some of those parastatals and look at those that are adding value. If...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to support the Committee's Report and the Bill by Hon. Gathiru. In support, I want to state that the issue of retirement age has been misused a lot, especially on the part that says a person can get an extension after 60 years...

Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table: Reports of the Departmental Committee on Labour on:

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Report of the National Dialogue Committee. Dialogue was extremely necessary for this country because we had come out of a very difficult election period. I want to thank the two principals who agreed to sit down and think about the...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I stand to support the Committee’s Report. I wish to say that this was the best moment for this country because it was one of the best decisions made by the two principals. This country had come from a very difficult time of COVID-19 pandemic...

On a point of order. Member for Kangema, what is out of order? Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I think we have ventilated this issue enough. I wish the Mover was called to reply. (Hon. Caroli Omondi spoke off the record)

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I wish Members could agree because we have compromised a lot on this Bill. One thing we must understand is that the Tea Board of Kenya holds elections across all regions, but the President appoints the chairperson. You know how tedious it is to be...

Thank you Hon. Temporary Speaker, I stand to support this Bill. I thank the Mover, Hon. Barasa, for his commitment to serve workers. I wish to know his background because I am a Member of the Departmental Committee on Labour. I have come across a number of legislation pieces that...
