    "content": "We the undersigned citizens of the Republic of Kenya and residents of Kajiado County, draw the attention of the Senate to the following- (1) That the Nol-Turesh Loitoktok Water and Sanitation Company Limited is registered as a company limited by guarantee and is wholly owned by the county governments of Kajiado, Makueni and Machakos counties. (2) That earlier this year the Water Service Regulatory Board (WASREB) carried out an inspection into the operations of the Nol-Turesh Loitoktok Water And Sanitation Company Limited which revealed among others that- (a) The Company had not remitted statutory dedications, including Pay As You Earn (PAYE) for the sum of kshs23 million as at June 2018; and, (b) The staff at the firm was owed salary arrears of more than eight months. (3) That the issues raised in the WASREB Report are yet to be addressed comprehensively, including payment of salary arrears and remittance of employee pensions and the statutory deductions which remain outstanding. (4) That we have made the best efforts to have these matters addressed by the relevant authorities all of which have failed to give a satisfactory response (5) That none of the issues raised in this Petition is pending in any court of law, constitutional or other legal bodies. Wherefore, your humble Petitioners pray that the Senate urgently investigates this matter with a view to ensuring: (a) That the employees of the firm receive their salary arrears. (b) That the outstanding pension and statutory deductions are remitted; and, (c) That steps are taken to ensure that the residents of Kajiado continue receive consistent supply of clean drinking water. The Petition is countersigned by Sen. May Yiane, Nominated Senator, Kajiado County. I thank you."
