Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2014, published 104th ILC session (2015)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Kenya (Ratification: 1990)

Article 5(1) of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. In reply to the previous comments, the Government indicates in its report that it has maintained its relations with the social partners through the Ministry of Labour, Social Security and Services. The National Labour Board did not discuss matters relating to unratified Conventions during the reporting period and has not yet discussed instruments adopted by the Conference at its 99th, 100th and 101st Sessions, which were submitted to the National Assembly in August 2012. Consultations were held on matters relating to items on the agenda of the International Labour Conference (Article 5(1)(a) of the Convention), as well as questions arising out of reports to be made under article 22 of the ILO Constitution (Article 5(1)(d)). The Government indicates that it shares reports submitted to the ILO under article 22 of the Constitution with the social partners, with the understanding that, where necessary, the social partners will raise their concerns with the ILO for further clarification. The Committee invites the Government to provide detailed information on the consultations held within the National Labour Board on unratified Conventions and the outcome of such consultations (Article 5(1)(c)) and on the other matters covered by Article 5(1) of the Convention, including information on proposals made by the National Labour Board regarding the instruments adopted by the Conference (Article 5(1)(b)).
