    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I commend our Chairperson in the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare for doing a good job. I am a Member of that Committee so I know the good work that we are doing under his leadership. We have worked around the clock to ensure that we accomplish most of the work within the set timelines. It is a yard stick for all of us. We made a point of meeting all the petitioners and stakeholders as outlined in the reports. We really exhausted all the stakeholders that were needed to handle the matters and it is what we are seeing as the observations that have been read on the Floor of this House and the recommendations done. It is not good for us to lock out people who can add or make contributions to the report. Every stakeholder engagement is meant to enrich the report and the observations of other members who did not get an opportunity to contribute, this is captured in the HANSARD so that when we are implementing or looking for other opinions, no one is locked out. I commend the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare because most of these petitions that come before us are either to do with mishandling of workers, lack of compensation or unfair dismissal from the companies. We have done a good job as a Committee so far. I urge this House to continue doing their best through the committees. Some committees of the Senate such as the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare and the Committee of National Cohesion, Equal Opportunity and Regional Integration are doing very well to ensure that that everything is under control and we have equity and inclusivity in Kenya. I thank you."
