    "content": " Hon. Senators pursuant to Standing Order No.220 (1) (a) and Standing Order No.225 (2) (b), I hereby report to the Senate that a Petition has been submitted, through the Clerk, by 33 former employees of the Premier Oil Mills Limited regarding the non-payment by the company of redundancy dues, statutory deductions and other monies owed to them. In their Petition, the petitioners state:- (a)that in June 2016, the employees of Premier Oil Mills Limited were served with redundancy notice and were to paid their final dues by 23rd August 2016; (b) the former employees further discovered that the company had not been remitting statutory deductions to the National Social Security Fund (NSSF), the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF), as well as Sacco deposits deducted from their salaries; and, (c) that the company is yet to effect payment of the said redundancy, statutory and other dues owed to the former employees despite their best efforts to have their dues paid. Consequently, the petitioners pray that the Senate investigates this matter and intervenes to have the said payments effected by the company. Hon. Senators, pursuant to Standing Order No.226, I shall now allow comments, observations or clarifications in relation to the Petition, for not more than 30 minutes combined for both petitions. The Petition by Sen. Wangari is already committed to the Committee."
