    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is very disturbing when you get this kind of an answer from an Assistant Minister of Government. I represent cane cutters in Nzoia. I am aware that they are employed by the company. There are those who have been working for the company for over ten years, but have remained casuals, or temporary workers, since the time they started working for the company. There is a statement in the Assistant Minister's answer to the effect that cane cutters are employed on a piece-rate basis, when we know that they have been working for Nzoia Sugar Company for all the time the company has been cutting cane. What is the Government doing to ensure that the law is not applied selectively to some Kenyans? Kenyans who are involved in cutting cane also deserve to benefit from the provisions of the law."
