Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 2003, Publicación: 92ª reunión CIT (2004)

The Committee notes the report of the Government.

1. Registration of the Kenya Civil Servants’ Union. In its previous comments, the Committee requested the Government to register this trade union. In a communication of 7 May 2003, the Government indicates that it has, in fact, registered the Kenya Civil Servants’ Union on 10 December 2001. The Committee takes note of this information.

2. Right to collective bargaining of public employees. The Committee notes that the Government does not address this issue. It trusts that the Government will take the necessary measures to ensure that public employees (with the possible exception of those engaged in the administration of the State) benefit from the guarantees laid down in the Convention, and in particular the right to collective bargaining. The Committee requests the Government to keep it informed of any developments in this respect.
