    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me this opportunity to support the statement of Sen. Faki. I concur with fellow Senators that even in our counties, we are seeing a lot of irregularities in the sacking of employees and with some working under every bad conditions while others work without pay. For instance, in Machakos County, there are cleaners who are working at the Machakos County Level 5 Hospital who have not been paid for more than six months. The community health volunteers’ workers have also not been paid for more than a year. There are many such employees who are sacked without notice. Some are not even paid their dues whenever they are sacked. The workers are parents who have children to take to school, feed as well rent to pay. When workers are sacked witho0ut notice, what do we expect them to do? The Ministry of Labour and Social Protection should take care of these employees. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to support this petition."
