    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise, pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare regarding claims of unfair labour practices at Sukari Industries in Ndhiwa Sub County, Homa Bay County. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) State the number of drivers in the company who are mandated to collect/transport cane and how many hours they work per day; (2) Explain whether they are compensated for the extra hours whenever they work overtime in line with the Employment Act, 2007 and whether such overtime hours worked comply with Section 27 of the said Act; and, (c) Investigate whether the longer working hours might be the reason for rampant accidents involving Sukari Industry trailers transporting sugar cane and whether the workers are allowed at least one rest day in every seven-day period, regardless of weekends or public holidays, as stipulated in Section 27(2) of the Employment Act. I thank you."
