    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I realized yesterday that most people did not really seem to capture what we were saying, that the existing laws, the existing statutes are very generous – they allow the Minister, under Section 43, to appoint a Wages Council. This Wages Council is categorized into two wings, one is general workers wages council and then the agricultural workers council. There is a provision that you can form any other council as you wish. That has not happened for the last many years and the workers in the flower industry – not Naivasha people – have been short changed throughout. I have explained and expressed the concerns that what they go through is really worse than what we call “neo-colonialism” or, at the very best, slavery. I want to be proved wrong and I am glad that some hon. Members of the Labour Committee are around. Let them tour the farms; tonight, as I said yesterday, some people who earn only Kshs3,500 or Kshs3,700 before recovery of loans, are going to have just ugali, water and salt. They cannot afford Sukuma wiki, forget about anything else!"
