"content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I have given him the weapon to use against me by telling him the relevant Standing Order. I think Sen. Olekina was walking in when I was explaining, but while doing an inquiry on issues of labour, there were seafarers who died. Their colleagues explained the circumstances around which their colleagues died at sea. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, during that hearing, they said that the fishing vessels go to the high seas for months. The seafarers request to fish and they are told to not fish, but relax. Do you want to fish or a salary? That is on the record because Committee meetings are recorded, and that is in our HANSARD. The seafarers stay there for two or three months and another vessel comes from wherever, offloads cargo onto that vessel and it returns back, claiming that cargo is fish. Considering that Senate is not an investigative agency, we do not have a conclusive report and that is why we mandated the Kenya Coast Guard Service, including the DCI and KMA to give us a report on the on-goings. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, everyone in Mombasa will tell you that Kenya had the highest quantity of prawns. Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr talked about Tuna fish that is no longer there. Our Committee together with the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries will get a report from the Kenya Coast Guard Service. We will deal with it as the Senate and solve it. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I had moved on to the next one by Sen. Dullo, where she had made reservations on the report that we tabled in this House. We requested for further information from the management and the concerned Ministry. We got personnel files of all these people who were dismissed. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
