    "content": "dismissal of 56 members of the Ewaso Ng’iro Development Authority (ENDA). I do not want to delve so much into the matter. I would, however, like to say that when we bring Statements to this House, we normally look for a remedy. That is why we bring Statements to the Floor of the House. Secondly, the matter before the Committee is a heavy one because it concerns members of the public who were dismissed unprocedurally. Some of them were casuals for over 10 years. They were subjected to one year contracts and then they were dismissed on the basis that they were not qualified, but they were all qualified. I am really happy with the investigation that was carried out by the Committee because I sat in all the proceedings of the Committee. Both ENDA and the Cabinet Secretary (CS) appeared. However, I have a few reservations as far as the recommendations are concerned, because it does not address the real issues why I brought that Statement to the Floor of the House. Most importantly were the people who were laid off by ENDA. Secondly, there was harassment by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the executive. Madam Deputy Speaker, let me say this. The Committee has commendably observed the employees at ENDA. In their observation, they were subjected to labour malpractices and injustices. The Committee observed that the workplace at ENDA is hostile and characterized by miscommunication, intimidation, discrimination and general mismanagement. That is basically what I brought to the Floor of the House. Thank you for that. The Committee observed that employees were subjected to very long unending casual temporary employment, some as long as 10 years."
