    "content": "A time has come when we need to look at the labour laws in this country comprehensively. Let us look at what has been happening in the past and where we are right now. If possible, we need to link this observation to the fact that there are Kenyans who now get jobs outside the country so that we can come up with a comprehensive labour law which deals with all those outstanding issues. We have the same matter in the area I represent in Kisii, where the Coca-Cola Company un-ceremoniously fires employees. It does not consider any labour laws and does not pay them any terminal benefits. It is a matter that I would want the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare to look at and evaluate, so that we can agree on both sides. That is because we need the companies to employ Kenyans. We also do not want the companies to frustrate and make sure that Kenyans are not getting their dues. Thank you."
