Madam Deputy Speaker, I would like to inform Sen. Cheruiyot that what he is saying is true. As a result of the Statement that was brought yesterday to this Chamber by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. and also the one Sen. Cheruiyot brought on stadiums, there is a serious conversation going on in the country involving sports, especially football. Madam Deputy Speaker, I am informing Sen. Cheruiyot that there are people on both sides who feel uncomfortable and are beginning to get jittery about this investigation that Sen.

Madam Deputy Speaker, I was with teachers from my county. One of the things that has angered teachers - and I am sure it is the case in all our counties - is the fact that they are now being told that every five years, they must go for a compulsory course to train, using their own money and get that qualification to retain their status as a TSC teacher.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, that is true. There is something; I do not know what you are looking for. The only remaining post you should be is the Senate Majority Leader. Congratulations! First, I would like to thank the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. I have a lot of respect for Sen. Sakaja and the Committee he leads and the work he has done. The issue of labour migration to Saudi Arabia is something that has bothered this country for far too long. In the last Parliament, if someone can remind me her name, the Nominated Senator from ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, based on that useful information, when Sen. Sakaja will be replying and before we pass the report, I will be interested to know to what extent the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was involved in this process. The Government of Kenya has not given a comprehensive report on the cause of death for many people who have died and been buried. Were they strangled or beaten? What is the legal regime of Saudi Arabia? Again, the role of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs cannot be over-emphasized in this matter. ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am sure that the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection deals with bilateral relationships. Even as we discuss whether to block the place or not, they must have bilateral talks with various governments of the Middle East on this important matter and the report from those bilateral engagements must be tabled in this House.
