    "content": "Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to comment. I want to thank Sen. Sakaja; he is my Chairperson in the Committee on Labour Committee and Social Welfare. The Nation should know clearly that he is a youth who is really determined to walk his talk. This is because he has actually motivated us in the Committee. Most of the time, you find that he is always leading from the front in terms of meetings and petitions. We have actually done public participation in the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. He moves forward and he has put all his energy and time in ensuring that there is public participation among workers and on issues that are really pinching the country. Sen. Sakaja is one of the many Senators who have really understood issues of disabilities. When I was talking about issues of sign language on the floor of this House, I was amazed with the fact that he had a wealth of information regarding sign language. He could even communicate his name in sign language. He knew so much that I was really impressed. I am sure that with the support we have with Sen. Sakaja as our Chairperson, Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) will benefit from the debates on the Floor of this House, because he understands issues to do with disability. I also want to talk about the issue of workers. Yesterday, I remember we had the County Governments of Makueni, Machakos and Kajiado, coming in to solve the water issue. We were able to give them, as a Committee, some tips of ensuring they recall the workers back and that there is an amiable way of working out pressing workers issues. Workers in Kenya should know they have a defender in the House in the name of Sen. Sakaja. He is really keen when it comes to issues of workers. Sen. Sakaja is passionate. He loves his work and has the innate desire to work. He is not forced in any way to work; we just find him already in the House and he listens to us. Anyone would be happy to work with a Chairperson who listens and is ready to apply whatever ideas that Members give. Thank you for the opportunity."
