    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to speak to the matter of China Road and Bridge Corporation. Just like my other colleagues have pointed out, it is clear that one of the key obligations of any business entity is to support the local communities who have given them an opportunity to work. One of the things that baffles us is why, for instance, the relevant Ministry would be issuing out work permits to people who are virtually unskilled and nearly laborers. They come and compete with Kenyans for jobs which anybody can do. Jobs which do not require any specialized skills. Going forward, we need to be more firm on this matter so that we do not have unnecessary conflicts between local communities and those corporations. It is unbelievable that for the corporation to work, they are investing in security to have policemen guard their Chinese workers - people who cannot even speak the local language - carrying metals and loads of other materials for constructing the railway line. I wish to support. Thank you."
