    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Explain the reasons that led to termination of employment of over 35 workers at the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) in 2009 and 2010, including the specific allegations of misconduct or poor performance. (2) Provide reasons for the failure to comply with the Labour Court's ruling in a case No.37/2010, issued on 14th October, 2020, which directed the payment of salary arrears to the affected staff, stating the reasons for the continued non-compliance with the Court's directive. (3) Provide justification for the unprocedural dismissal of senior research officers from KEMRI whose contracts were set to expire in 2025 and their replacement with casual workers. (4) Explain why many staff of Kenya Medical Research Institute who have worked under successive contracts for over 10 years without being absorbed into permanent positions having had their contracts terminated without notice. (5) Provide a list of all staff members who were reinstated as per the Court's order and explain the reasons for KEMRI's failure to comply with judicial directives, a failure that has persisted for several years. I thank you."
