They would like to bring to the attention of this House that over 6,000 employees reported the matter to the trade union and the Minister for Labour and Manpower Development on 24th December, 1997, who later appointed an investigator. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, they also took this matter to court and the ruling was awarded in their favour through Dr. Gibson Kamau Kuria in the Milimani Court. Later on Mr. Kioni, the Member of Parliament for Ndaragwa, raised a Question and nothing was done in respect of these suffering employees, who are spread all over the country. The matter was picked up by the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives, but up to now no report has come. So, these people are still languishing in poverty. Their prayer is that you give direction as to how these people who had contributed to their SACCO, and whose final dues are still pending, should be assisted. The matter"
