    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to comment on the Petition by Hon. Onyango Oyoo on behalf of the workers of Kibos Sugar and Allied Industries. I come from the same county and I know that this is one of the companies that create wealth and employment. However, without casting aspersions on Members of this House, every time complaints are made against this company, Members treat it with kid gloves. That is why Hon. Onyango Oyoo was referring to monkey business and being between a rock and hard place. This company needs to be investigated properly. Hon. Speaker, during the time of strong union leaders like Mr. Onyango Midika and the late Mr. Ochieng, who were leading workers of sugar industries, this would not be happening in Kenya. I kindly ask the relevant committee of the House to look into this matter carefully. If there is need to take action, it should be taken without any apologies. We think we are the giants, but the giant is trying to trample big and poor people. It should not happen in Kenya anymore. I thank you."
