    "content": "(Sen. (Dr.) Lelegwe): Hon. Senators, I hereby report to the Senate that a Petition has been submitted through the Clerk by Isaac Siko Nyakiriga, a citizen of the Republic of Kenya. As you are aware under Article 119(1) of the Constitution: “Every person has a right to petition Parliament to consider any matter within its authority, including enacting, amending or repealing any legislation.” Hon. Senators, the salient issues raised in this Petition are: 1. That he was employed by the Kisii County Government on 19th January, 2017, as a clerical officer in the letter reference No.KCPSPAP3101/2017 after successfully attending an interview and was deployed to Nyaribari Masaba Sub-County on 20th March, 2017 by the Kisii County Government. 2. That he reported to the Nyaribari Masaba Sub-County office on 27th March, 2017, and was thereafter deployed to Nyamasiba Ward office as a clerical officer. 3. That he has allegedly never been paid any salary to date and has never received his personal number despite having been approved by the Kisii County Public Service Board on 20th July, 2017 to be included in the payroll. Further the county government has never confirmed his offer of appointment after his successful completion of the probationary period as stipulated by in the Kenyan labour laws. 4. That the County Government of Kisii has violated his rights as enshrined in the Constitution of Kenya which has caused him inconveniences and much trauma in his daily undertakings. 5. That he has made all efforts to have the matter addressed by the relevant bodies upon which they have raised directives to the County Government of Kisii on the non-payment of his salary and the confirmation of his employment by the directive has not been implemented. 6. The Senate investigates into these issues and find out:- (a) why his personal number is missing and why it was not processed by the county government and resolve. (b) Find out why his salary is not remitted by the county government yet he was assigned duties and resolve. (c) Make appropriate recommendations for his confirmation of his employment and compensation during the period. Hon. Senators, pursuant to Standing Order 231, I shall now allow comments, observations and clarifications in relation to the Petition for not more than 30 minutes."
