    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir for this opportunity. I also thank Sen. Sakaja who is also my Chairperson in the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. I think as a Committee, we will treat this matter with the seriousness that it deserves. One, it is very sad that most opportunities that should have be given to our people are being given to the Chinese. I think we need to relook the issue of work permits and I challenge my Chairperson, Sen. Sakaja, that we must relook and agree on the work permits. The only place in this world where you walk in like a toilet and you do what you want is Kenya. That is why you find Chinese selling even roasted maize in Narok County. In the same county, the other day you saw people fighting over Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) projects. These are people who think they are more important than Kenyans. We must review how we handle the work permit regulations in this country and avoid a situation where every Tom, Dick and Harry walks into this country and behaves as they wish. Second is on the issue of CSR. I have seen many Kenyans up in arms when the Chinese are given projects to work on. They do not care about how people use their roads The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
