    "content": "The Employment Act has not been implemented. It has literally been ignored and that is a major concern to all the local authorities in the country. There must be constant inspections to make sure that workers are treated as human beings. In this particular case, terminating 250 workers is destroying families in a very strange manner. We also note that employment in local authorities is conducted along tribal inclinations. A father, a son, a daughter, a brother and a sister are involved. That should not be allowed to happen. We need to make sure that employment in this country is done on merit. That has not been done in Thika Municipal Council. All other municipalities must make sure that employment is done on merit. It should not be done on tribal considerations. Family connections must not be introduced in employment. Finally, I agree with my colleagues that the recommendations contained in this Report be immediately implemented, so that those people get back their jobs and continue earning their salaries. Short of that, they will not be happy. With those few remarks, I fully support."
