Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2022, published 111st ILC session (2023)

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

Article 5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Committee notes that the Government does not provide concrete, specific information in its report on either the content or the outcome of tripartite consultations held on matters covered by Article 5(1) of the Convention. Rather, the Government indicates briefly in its report that tripartite workshops have been held during the reporting period to promote the ratification of several ILO Conventions and a roadmap was developed in this regard, without providing information on the instruments examined in the consultations, the content of the road map developed, or the outcomes of the consultations, if any. The Committee is therefore bound to reiterate its request that the Government provide updated detailed information on both the content and the outcome of tripartite consultations held on all matters concerning international labour standards covered by Article 5(1) of the Convention, includingwith regard to questionnaires on items on the agenda of the Conference (Article 5(1)(a)), proposals to be made in connection with the submission of the instruments adopted by the Conference to the National Assembly (Article 5(1)(b)), the re-examination of unratified Conventions and of Recommendations to which effect has not yet been given (Article 5(1)(c)), and on reports on ratified Conventions (Article 5(1)(d)). The Committee also reiterates its request to the Government to provide specific information on any developments with respect to the possible ratification of Conventions Nos 87, 150, and 189.
