"content": "him for bringing this petition. Indeed, it is true that Webuye Town goes to sleep by 4.00 p.m. It is unfortunate. It is like life has come to an end for the people of Webuye. About 1,200 former employees have not been paid their dues up to now. I have no doubt that this has contributed heavily to the increased cases of insecurity in that town. It is, indeed, important that the relevant agencies move with speed, so that those former employees can be compensated. They are living in abject poverty. In the area, many children have dropped out of school because of lack of school fees. For those who had taken loans, the banks are now selling their pieces of land. This is a very serious issue and I would like to emphasize what Mzee Wangamati has done. I would also, in the same breath, like to congratulate him. You can imagine that at his age, he has done a lot of research on this matter. It is my humble request that the House moves with speed to help in resolving this issue so that those 1,200 employees, upon whom about 30,000 people rely on, are given their life back."
