    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank Sen. Sakaja and the Labor and Social Welfare Committee for being prompt and following up these issues. These are individuals who have exhausted the means that they could address the issues. That is why they brought these issues to the Senate. If it reaches a point where now the individual is called, the employer is contacted and issues are raised and are sorted out, Kenyans have hope that the Senate as it were has at least given them another chance and it goes out to the employers because we know of cases we are still following at a personal level. As leaders, employees come to us when they have problems with their employers. Sometimes you will find somebody is being penalized for mistakes that do not warrant that kind of penalization, but because they think this person once penalized cannot go anywhere, then they take those kinds of actions. It is clear to employers that when they mistreat Kenyans, they have other points of call and the Senate is one of them. I thank the Committee on Labor and Social Welfare for the way it has expeditiously carried out these petitions. It goes to all of us because other committees are also handling petitions which are not doing as well. Some committees we belong to, we are all guilty of that crime. Let us work hard and make sure that we address the plight of Kenyans to conclusion within the required time."
