    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to conclude by challenging the Government on the overall employment policy and legislation in this country. We are not taking good care of the Kenyan worker. Our employment laws and policies are lopsided. They are not in the best interest of the Kenyan worker, and I want to challenge the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs that as we implement the Constitution, let us take this opportunity to revise the employment laws and policies of this country, so that we can take better care of our workers. Kenyan workers working in certain sectors like those who serve in private security firms, flower farms--- I am at the risk of sounding like a racist, which I am not; those who work in firms owned by Kenyan Asians have myriad complaints about the conditions in which they work. If this House does not rise and respond to the issues affecting the Kenyan worker, I believe that we will not be living up to the mandate and responsibility we bear as Hammurabi the law giver, as the legislators and as a House that is supposed to take care of the best interests of the people."
