    "content": " Please, let me explain. That is one of the reason why we were called before the Parliamentary Committee. However, if it is in the interest of this House that I issue a Ministerial Statement, I am not in any way reluctant to issue a Ministerial Statement because I need to inform the House how things have gone since the Parliamentary Committee started its work, awaiting the results of the work of the Committee. I need to inform the House the steps that the Government has taken over this issue. I need to inform the House why there was some controversy on how to handle the matter. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, these are genuine issues. I think it would be good for us to be sober because what we want is to have facts and to discuss from a basis of facts. I do not think any kind of emotionalism or harassment will help any Member or myself. I would be the last one to harass any Member of Parliament in trying to get statements from them. So, I would expect and pray that a similar deportment be extended unto me. Therefore, since we are just launching the investigation in the Ministry and we have a very useful meeting this morning with the Ministry of Labour, COTU and the Federation of Kenya Employers (FKE), I would request the House that I issue this Statement on Tuesday next week. That is precisely because I would not like to kind of short-circuit the Government. Thank you."
