Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1994, published 81st ILC session (1994)

Employment Service Convention, 1948 (No. 88) - Kenya (Ratification: 1964)

The Committee notes a very brief report of the Government on the application of the Convention. The Government indicates that the new Ministry of Labour and Manpower Development has been created in lieu of the former Ministry of Manpower Development and Employment and the former Ministry of Labour. In its previous direct request the Committee asked the Government to provide information on the manner in which the Convention is applied, including, for instance, extracts from offical reports and any particulars bearing on the practical application. The Committee observes that no information of this kind has been supplied by the Government so far. It therefore hopes that the Government will not fail to provide the information requested in its next report. Please also supply copies of the 1991 and 1992 Annual Reports by the Director of the National Employment Bureau to which reference is made in the Government's reports under Convention No. 2 and under this Convention.

The Committee reiterates its request for statistical information concerning the number of public employment offices established, the number of applications for employment received, the number of vacancies notified, and the number of persons placed in employment by such offices, in accordance with point IV of the report form.
