Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. I thank Sen. Sakaja, for bringing up this issue. As I listen to other Senators discussing this issue, what goes through my mind is that we have employment contracts in this country. If normal companies breach any employment contract and harass their staff, there are laws that deal with them. Do these laws not apply to the Chinese? What is going on? Madam Temporary Speaker, on the discussion regarding corruption, I know that corruption breeds a lot of poverty in this country. Instead of money going into the ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to contribute to this Statement. There is the issue that my Senator for Wajir County was talking about; in terms of someone telling the police: “This is the person who sold it to me.” I also heard that story over the weekend. If we go that route, then we are just creating distractions along the way. At the end of the day, fighting corruption and adding value to Kenyans’ lives will not bear any fruits. Therefore, let us deal with the issue. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very clear process. We ...
