    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I get a lot of complaints through the calls that I receive daily on my phone of people who are always misused by their employers. One of the things that the employers have perfected is they know job opportunities are rare to come by and, therefore, they change the job description at will. In some cases, you will find that someone had been employed as a driver. However, after sometime, he is told that he will be a gardener at half pay. Due to lack of job opportunities, those people have no option, but to take up such roles. Another thing that Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve has spoken about is the issue of overtime. Normally a normal human being is expected to work from 8.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. However, a number of companies or employers force their employees to work from 6.00 a.m. up to midnight. They are expected to report on time the following day failure to which, they are punished. This amendment is going to bring sanctity. Madam Temporary Speaker, another example are our house helps. Sometimes when they fall under crooks in the name of employers, you find that if an employer comes back home and finds out that a glass was broken, they deduct that amount of money. They are the people who decide the value of whatever has been broken and, therefore, at the end of the day, or at the end of the month, you find that even those people we call nannies have nothing to take home. Madam Temporary Speaker, I congratulate the good Senator and tell him to keep this up. I hope that the good people of Nandi County are watching. I thank you."
