    "content": "ushering, security and work that Kenyans can do must be done by Kenyans. We have insisted on that. The Committee is concluding this matter. We are doing a site visit. The problem is that if we will tell them when we will be going, they will hide these wrong things that they do. So, we will go impromptu. We will just show up and ride the train to Mombasa and we hope Sen. Faki can welcome us again. There is also the Petition letter by former locomotive drivers of Kenya Railways (KR) to find out why they have not been incorporated into the SGR. We have invited them. They are very able wazees who were part of the railway and have a lot of experience. We are waiting for a final report from the Kenya Railway Corporation on the same. As I have noted, we have done a couple of county visits to Mombasa, Kwale and Kilifi counties in this past quarter. This is just for the last three months covered by this report. In those meetings, we met Members of County Assemblies, county speakers, Governors, CECs and County Government Workers Unions (CGWUs) who for a long time have not been recognised. On the Floor of this House, we gave a directive that because the law says that every county government must acknowledge and recognise the workers union that has the majority of employees of that establishment or institution, we gave a directive that in 14 days, we shall deem all those unions to have been recognised. The reason why governors are not recognizing them is because they do not want to get into Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs)."
