    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am also very concerned. The care that the distinguished Senator of Elgeyo Marakwet is telling is not the care that the Chair of the Committee is exhibiting on the Floor. We have a Report of the Senate Committee on Labour and Social Protection coming out of a Petition by a concerned citizen of Nakuru that children were rounded up and dumped in a forest, full of wildlife beyond Eldama Ravine and that some children to date have not been accounted for. It is not proper regardless of the recommendation that we have on the Floor for the Chair of the Committee, on behalf of the Committee, to start casting aspersions on the findings of the Committee of the Senate Committee on Labour and Social Protection by saying; “if it is proved, if it is found, if it happened”, when in fact, it is a fact that the Committee brought a report here that, in fact, children were rounded up and dumped in a forest. We do not know whether that act that is evidently criminal was meant to pave the way for what we are discussing but it was done, it was inhuman, criminal and there is some culpability that must land on somebody. I urge that you give direction to the Chair of this Committee that he should not overreach himself and the Committee in purporting to clear an issue that is a fact. We are going to debate this Report and vote on it. For the Chairman to start saying what he is saying, I join Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., in urging that the importance of any report of any committee of this House is sacrosanct."
