The Labour Relations (Amendent) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 18 of 2019), underwent first Reading on 24nd April, 2019. Thereafter, the Bill was committed to the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare to review and report to the House pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 216(5) (c). Consequently, the Committee, pursuant to Article 118 of the Constitution and Standing Order 127 (3), invited submissions from members of the public on the above Bill via advertisements in national dailies on 9"1 May, 2019. The Committee held a total of live sittings and considered the submissions on the Bill from the sponsor of the Bill and key stakeholders. Thereafter, the Committee retreated to consider the submissions and deliberate on the provisions in the Bill. May I take this opportunity to commend the Committee members for their devotion and commitment to duty in the consideration of the Bill and express gratitude to the Offices of Speaker and Clerk of the National Assembly for providing technical and logistical support. On behalf of the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare and pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 199 (6), it is my pleasant privilege and duty to present to the House a report of the Committee on the Labour Relations (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 18).
