    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the company was placed under receivership and Pricewaterhouse Coopers Limited were appointed as the receiver manager. The labour officer also filed a report dated 16th April, 2014 indicating that the claimants were employees of KUSCO. The labour officer recommended the receiver manager to pay the claimants all their dues for the period from September, 2003 to December, 2003. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the petitioners alleged that the receivers declined to make the payment. As a result, they violated Article 10 and 232 of the Constitution of Kenya on national values, principles of governance and public service, including negating the requirement of high standards of professional ethics in their work. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the petitioners have suffered inhumane and degrading treatment as a result of the failure to be paid for the work that they had done with KUSCO. Allow me to read the prayers because the Petition is long. They humbly request the Senate to- (1) investigate into issues of termination and compensation of the former employees of KUSCO in this Petition with the view to establish whether the matter was done within the law and was just and fair. (ii)Invite KUSCO, the then director of KUSCO, Pricewaterhouse Coopers Limited, the Department of Labour and all other respondents and their directors to answer questions regarding this matter of compensation. (iii)Recommends that KUSCO and their directors remit to the petitioners the sum of Kshs12,342,644 owed to them by their Sacco which was not remitted. (iv) Recommends the sum of Kshs35,813,990 being the outstanding wages and benefits be paid to the petitioners. The Petition was signed by Omar Ali Mwajabu and nine others on the 15th June, 2021."
