    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Labour and Social Protection the following Question: - (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary confirm whether M/s. WPP Scangroup Company PLC, which is a full-service creative transformation company engaged in marketing, communication, brand stewardship, media investment management and consumer research, complies with the labour laws and regulations in its operations? (ii) Could the Cabinet Secretary explain why the Company has particularly since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic been replacing majority of Kenya’s top creative minds and staff with foreign personnel, most who are coming from employment agencies, for example Mystic Monks; and could he undertake to take action whether legal or administrative against the company for the injustices against the affected Kenyan personnel? (iii) Could the Cabinet Secretary explain why the said publicly listed company has been allowed to fraudulently engage and retain foreigners for decades to undertake work that can effectively be handled by Kenyan professionals while at the same time placing its locals staff under strenuous and inhuman working conditions including working overnight without due compensation. Thank you very much Hon. Deputy Speaker."
