    "content": "The Statement that has been sought by Sen. (Dr.) Ali is heavy loaded because it affects many Kenyans. The issue of employment on contracts basis is not welcome. One of the things that promote commitment by workers to their jobs is the fact that they know that they will get value for their job. One can work for 10 to 15 years, and in the process, take loan and invest in property. In view of having contracts that last three to five years, it will be impossible to even get loans from the banks because workers will not qualify for loans. Madam Temporary Speaker, there is need to ensure that we do not demotivate our workers because the economy will dwindle. Workers will not be productive when they are not valued. We need workers to give their best if we are to grow our economy. The Committee responsible should address this Statement effectively for the purpose of ensuring that the legislations that are made in this House will help Kenyans. Sometimes Cabinet Secretaries make pronouncements, which when effected without being tested, Kenyans suffer. When this Statement by Sen. (Dr.) Ali is committed to the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, there is need for us to interrogate the responses they get, so that we eventually make good decisions for this country. Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank you for this opportunity. I commend Sen. (Dr.) Ali for bringing the statement. 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."
