By JOHN NGIRACHUMore by this AuthorA former soldier is making an unusual appeal to the National Assembly. He claims these actions violated the Constitution’s provisions on the rights of workers and the provisions of the Employment Act. Mr Muturi said that although the issues raised by Mr Chelang’a can be settled at a Court Martial, the Constitution provides that the National Assembly deliberate on and resolve issues of concern to the people. “It may be well that the grievances of the Petitioner may be resolved without having to [resort] to a Court Martial process,” said Mr Muturi. Mr Chelang’a's petition will be considered by the Labour and Social Welfare Committee, which Mr Muturi directed to examine the issues the former soldier raises and report back on the matter within 60 days as required by the standing orders.
