That is, the issue of the mistreatment of the workers of Nol-Turesh Loitoktok Water and Sanitation Company. Kenyans should know that the issue of Nol-Turesh Loitoktok Water and Sanitation Company is something that cuts across three counties namely; Kajiado, Makueni and Machakos.

Therefore, I want to request the Committee that will handle this Petition to recommend that the office of the Director The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
