    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1), to seek a Statement from the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, on the status of white card or casual employees laid off in 2009, during a restructuring exercise undertaken at the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA). In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Disclose the details of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) dated 22nd July, 2011 between KPA and its former employees, stating the enforceability of the agreement. (2) Apprise the Senate on the status of 150 casual employees, who were laid off in 2009 at KPA. Note that the Authority has been employing employees on permanent basis without any due consideration to the workers who were laid off. (3) Find out the terms of employment of the laid-off staff and their terms of termination, detailing why some of those laid off in 2009 had contracts of up to 2024 as casual employees. Further, state the relief, if any, extended by KPA to the affected staff following their laying-off. Bw. Naibu wa Spika, watu wangu leo wananitazama. Kuna wafanyikazi 247 ambao walifutwa kazi wakati Mamlaka ya Bandari ilipokuwa ikifanya mageuzi. Katika vikao ambavyo vimekuwa vikiendelea baina ya Bunge la Seneti na la Kitaifa---"
