    "content": "Fourthly, it is about labour engagement. They are not sure. They are still asking whether it is 30/70, 40/60 or 50/50 arrangement. These are some of the issues that the Committee needed to tell us when it comes to, maybe, casual labour. Is it 100 per cent or when it comes to some specific profession within, it is 30? We are scared when the Committee tells us that, as of now, they do not know the labour component and how it is going to be shared in terms of percentage. This is a problem because we have been told from the places where the SGR has started that the Chinese are doing even the manual work that a common Kenyan is supposed to do. So, if, indeed, the Committee is telling us that, as we are talking now, they still do not have details regarding the employment aspect and the percentages, it is something we need the Committee, when replying, to tell us. These are some of the observations and resolutions the Committee made and it is scary. We might have millions of those Chinese doing the work right from where the SGR starting to Malaba. We need the Committee to explain to this House about the issues regarding labour commitment."
