    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.47(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare regarding the recent unlawful dismissal of staff by the Ewaso Ngiro North Development Authority (ENNDA). The ENNDA recently dismissed 56 casual labourers who had been working at the Authority for over 10 years. The casual labourers were dismissed without notice or benefits contrary to the prevailing laws. The Authority proceeded to advertise the jobs in a bid to replace them with individuals from outside. In addition, the ENNDA has a poor work environment characterized by impunity, nepotism, tribalism and violation of the rights of staff over the years. Several reports have surfaced of staff being transferred from their departments without due process and their positions being taken up by unqualified junior staff yet certain individuals are favored and given promotion despite lacking qualifications. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Urgently investigate the unfair and illegal dismissal of staff at the ENNDA without following legal and ethical procedures. (2) Conduct a probe into the poor work environment at ENNDA, including unprocedural transfers and unmerited promotions. (3) An urgent intervention in order to prevent the dismissal of the 46 Kenyans who are from low level cadre. I thank you."
