"content": "National Social Security Fund (NSSF) are not being remitted, including pensions to Lap Fund and Lap Trust. They are very many. So, we have asked for an entire breakdown from NHIF, NSSF and all of the counties that have actually defaulted. The accounting officer must be held personally culpable for diverting that money. It is not your money. It is the people’s money. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there was the issue of protection of local investors in multinational companies by Sen. Were and Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve on compensation by Mr. Peter Otieno by Sarova Hotels. We are also looking at it. At this point, allow me to urge colleagues that Committees are very serious. Let us avoid bringing a huge Petition on one person. Imagine a whole committee of nine Senators trying to sort out an issue of just one individual. We should deal with more thematic areas and issues that affect many issues. We will take so much time on one individual. If you just brought it directly to me, for instance, I can make a phone call and we sort that one person. For instance, this one of Sarova Hotels is something easy to solve. I can pick my phone and call my friend, Mr. Jimmy Kariuki, who is the boss of Sarova Hotels and we sort it out. However, because it has come officially, we have to deal with it and have the Senate inquiry on this matter, and we do not have time. The general election is in about 200 days. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on Petitions, we have concluded five Petitions and we do not have any pending Petition in my Committee. I am very proud of that. There was the issue by Sen. Abdul M. Haji on the plight of home workers of Kenya United Steel Company. We finished and have done a report. Mr. Batatisho Ireri Kawe, and I have just heard in the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights, is a seasoned petitioner. On the issue concerning Inua Jamii Programme, we have done. Mr. Isaak Nyakeriga is another individual on non-payment of salary and failure by county government and we have done. On recruitment of Early Childhood Education and Development (ECDE) teachers, we have done and I have laid the report. On an individual called Mr. Isaac Matendechere concerning unfair dismissal by Broadways Bakeries, we have done. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I said that the elections is in 250 days, six hours 14 minutes and nine seconds. You cannot stop it. In terms of hours, it is 6,006 hours, 360,374 minutes. If you count from one to 21.6 million, we will be on the Elections Day. The inquiries we have had under the period of review, we did, resumed and concluded an inquiry on labour migration and gave a landmark report tabled in this House. The report was tabled on the 2nd November, 2021. It was debated and adopted. This is a serious report. We have lost more than 100 girls in a year going to look for work in Saudi Arabia and coming back in a casket. They are going to look for work outside the country, just to feed their families and fend for themselves, and they are coming back in a 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."
