Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2002, Publicación: 91ª reunión CIT (2003)

The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in reply to its 2000 direct request. The Committee recalls that it noted with interest that, following consultations with workers’ and employers’ organizations, the Conventions and Recommendations adopted at the 34th, 42nd, and 81st to 87th Sessions of the Conference were submitted, on 24 April 2001, to the National Assembly and that the ratification of Conventions Nos. 100, 111 and 182 was further registered on 7 May 2001. It trusts that in its next report the Government will continue to provide particulars on the tripartite consultations conducted on the matters covered by Article 5, paragraph 1, as well as on the activities of the Labour Advisory Board in relation to the Convention.

Article 5, paragraph 1(c) and (e). The Committee recalls that the ILO Governing Body has invited States parties to the Recruitment of Indigenous Workers Convention, 1936 (No. 50), the Contracts of Employment (Indigenous Workers) Convention, 1939 (No. 64), the Penal Sanctions (Indigenous Workers) Convention, 1939 (No. 65), and the Contract of Employment (Indigenous Workers) Convention, 1947 (No. 86) - which Kenya has ratified and are still in force - to contemplate ratifying the Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention, 1989 (No. 169), and denouncing Conventions Nos. 50, 64, 65 and 86 at the same time. States parties to the Underground Work (Women) Convention, 1935 (No. 45), and to the Statistics of Wages and Hours of Work Convention, 1938 (No. 63), were invited to contemplate ratifying the Labour Statistics Convention, 1985 (No. 160), and the Safety and Health in Mines Convention, 1995 (No. 176). Please indicate if consultations are envisaged on these matters.

Article 6. The Committee again requests the Government to indicate whether the question of issuing a report on the working of the consultations procedures covered by the Convention has been the subject of consultations with the social partners. Please provide, where appropriate, information on the results of such consultations.
