    "content": "There was also a Statement by Sen. (Dr.) Langat on the late staff salaries and other unfair labour practices by Bomet Water and Sanitation Company (BOWASCO), and the response came. I have seen this response. It has come from BOWASCO and we will share it with the Member. He will tell us. On the Statement brought by Sen. Sakaja, this is strange. I cannot seek a Statement from my committee. It was on the inquiry on the status of Dandora and I have just said what we have done. That stadium is amazing. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there are so many young people around that area who would have benefited. It is 65 per cent done. It was stopped due to these investigations on alleged misappropriation charged on the former Governor, Hon. Sonko. Gov. Sonko did an amazing job on that stadium. If you look at it, you will be shocked. It is even better than some of the big ones by the national Government. That is what we are going to report to as a Committee. I spoke to the Director General of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commision (EACC), Mr. Twalib. The President himself said that it must go on. I have spoken to the Governor and everyone is willing, but afraid of touching it. What we are going to do as a Senate is to say that the work must be complete. You are wasting three years and the stadium has been equiped. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank the young people of Dandora. They have made sure not a wire has been touched. There are speakers and a public address system, flood lights, and they are taking care of that place themselves. We are going to give the go-ahead for that completion to be done for whatever amount. Sports is not under Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS). It is still under the county. Gov. Ann Kananu, finish that stadium so that next year, I can be sworn in as governor there. There was the issue of Sen. (Dr.) Lang’at on claims of discrimination against local jobs. They are very many and I cannot list all of them that are still ongoing. Sen. (Dr.) Ali requested a Statement on delays in payment of work injury benefit and another one on senior personnel at GDC. On the issue raised by Sen. Were on frustrations faced by the retired public servants or the beneficiaries in pensions department, my friend at the Pensions Department sometimes struggles whenever we have an issue. I am very grateful for the team there at the National Treasury, but, sometimes, the issue is actually the cash. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, maybe because of the economic situation it could be that our pensions have been raided. I was looking for his name. He is Mr. Karega. He is extremely a great man, as well as the Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS), Hon. Gaichuhie. They are very helpful together with the Principal Secretary (PS). On misappropriation of staff emoluments and statutory deductions, this we wrote. There are many counties where statutory deductions, and I hope Narok County is not one of them.

A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
