    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, a country that does not take care of its workers really does not have a foundation for a take-off. For a country like ours, that is talking about Vision 2030; we want to be a medium-sized industrialized country in the next 19 or so years; there is no way we will get there if we do not take care of the toiling and moiling workers of this country. If we continue to treat them the way we are doing, perhaps we should revise Vision 2030 to become Vision 3020, because the people who will power this country to realize Vision 2030 are the workers of this country. We are talking of about 250 employees of Thika Municipal Council, who are demanding a paltry Kshs9.5 million. I did some quick arithmetic while sitting here and that is a paltry Kshs38,000 per person. This is a matter that is really basic natural justice, which demands that justice be done in this matter. This House should adopt this report today. However, we should go beyond merely adopting this report."
