    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.51 (1) (b) to make a Statement relating to the activities of the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare during the third and fourth quarters of the Fifth Session that is July to December, 2021. During the period, the Committee has so far held 52 Sittings during which it considered various legislative proposals, Bills, Statements, Petitions and Inquiries. Of these, 49 were Sittings of the Committee, three were joint Sittings with the Standing Committees of National Security, Defense and Foreign Relations, Justice, Human Rights and Legal Affairs on the matter of labour migration, which was very key issue. The Committee transacted the following business during the period under review- On Legislative proposals, we undertook pre-publication scrutiny and two of these proposals referred to the Committee. That was the Employment Amendment Bill sponsored by Sen. Cherargei and the Social Assistance Bill sponsored by Sen. Omanga. Pursuant to Standing Order No.125 (3) (a), we approved these proposals and transmitted them onward with our comments thereon to the hon. Speaker. The proposals have since been published as Bills and are at various stages of consideration. We considered two Bills during the period under review. Of these, we adopted and tabled a report on the Heritage and Museums Bill that was by Sen. (Dr.) Milgo. We are concluding consideration of the Sports Amendment Bill. We have received a matrix of public participation and proposed amendments. We were looking at it last Saturday, but felt that proposed amendments from the Ministry of Sports were so many that they would probable change the Bill. We cannot do without Sen. Cheruiyot in there with us. We have considered 24 Statements sent by Senators. For the record of the House, I will give details. Of these, we have concluded eight. There was one sought by Sen. Kasanga on the Alleged Abusive Treatment of PWDs. We got a response and shared with the Senator. On the Statement by Sen. Cherargei on the Management of the Inua Jamii"
