Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2008, publiée 98ème session CIT (2009)

Part V of the report form. The Committee notes that the information on the numbers of dockers in the port of Mombasa and their terms of employment was not received with the report submitted in August 2007. In October 2007, the ILO requested that this information be supplied for its examination by the Committee. The Committee invites the Government to provide information on the results achieved at the tripartite level in improving the efficiency of work in ports. In particular, the Committee would appreciate receiving information on the number of dockworkers employed by the Kenya Ports Authority, and by other companies, and of variations in their numbers. Please also supply information on the measures taken to ensure that appropriate safety, health, welfare and vocational training provisions also apply to dockworkers (Article 6 of the Convention).

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2009.]
