Members who have contributed in support of our Ministry today. I would like to start with Mr. Bifwoli who talked about raising the minimum wage. Indeed, we are not playing with this matter. During the Labour Day celebrations, we had a good package for Kenyans with regard to the minimum wage, but unfortunately the crowds went rowdy and stoned us. As a Ministry, we have gazetted the minimum wages for all categories of employees be they housemaids or workmen. We will table that in Parliament very soon."}
