We have invested a lot in our children who are now being wasted. The Government has proposed to freeze employment, but I think there could be a hidden agenda. People have also invested a lot in the private sector. If the Government comes up with such proposals, what about the private sector? That is depriving Kenyans of their livelihoods. I have a lot of pain because Kenya is a suffering nation. I beg to I support and thank you. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

expect much from their county assembly. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hope that the students are going to enjoy their stay here. I believe that they are going to learn from us so that when they grow up, some of them can become Senators. We were also once primary school pupils so we pray that in future, many of them end up in Parliament as Members or in other arms of the Government. I thank you.

We have had problems with payments of the farmers, voting and resource allocation. Therefore, we need to have a legislation to deal with this problem because farmers in tea zones have suffered. They have lost a lot of resources and money and have been side-lined. The Petitioner, Mr. Isaack Mwangi Mugo has said that they are side- lined when it comes to voting yet they are the ones who are supposed to vote because they are at crossroads. In fact, they are the ones who are supposed to be elected because they are the stakeholders. When elected, they can discuss ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand to support the Statement by Sen. Olekina on the domestic workers employed in Saudi Arabia. This Statement is timely because most domestic workers who are employed in Saudi Arabia are being totally frustrated.

It is high time, therefore, that the Kenya Government through the Saudi Arabian Embassy in Kenya or the concerned authorities find a ...
