Mr. Speaker, Sir, in part “c” of my answer, I have said that these people were paid as per their contract. However, if they have not been paid, the hon. Member can submit the list so that we can look at it afresh. As far as we are concerned, all the 88 seasonal employees were paid as per the three months contract.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Ministry of Energy in Naivasha has not consistently and persistently locked out local residents out of recruitment of basic manual jobs in all its operations and affiliates. I have attached a list of the local residents and the others in the manual jobs at Olkaria, Naivasha. (b) The Geothermal Development Company (GDC) has 411 regular employees out of which 66 are from Naivasha and are registered voters in the constituency. The rest of the workers are from different parts of the country. Currently, the Government of Kenya is financing through ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when I took the answer to Room 8 in the morning, I ensured that I attached the list. I do not know what happened with the clerks, because I ensured that all the answers I submitted to Room 8 had the list of the local residents working in this company.

The hon. Member has said that I have not attempted to answer the Question. This list is very clear. There is no discrimination as such. I have attached a list of the residents from Naivasha. The list specifies where they come from. I have also stated that our labour laws---

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think what the hon. Member is asking is why the Ministry of Energy is discriminating against people. I have said that as far as KenGen is concerned, it just provides logistical support to the Greatwall Drilling Company of China. As far as the KPC is concerned, it has no jobs there. It does not employ people. It does not have any vacancies there, and he knows it very well.

As far as GDC is concerned, which is the company which contracted the Great Wall Drilling Company, it has 411 regular employees, 66 of whom are from Naivasha and are registered in his constituency. So, I do not know what the hon. Member wants. The answer is very clear and well summarised. I am very confident that the CEO, who was giving a difficult time, when he learnt that Parliament is supreme, he behaved very well and gave us all the information we needed.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you look at part (b) of the Question, you will see that it does not ask for a list. It is only part (a) which asks for a list. On part (b), what I brought is the list of manual workers; by doing this, I was trying to emphasise the answer to part (a) of the Question. Under part (b) of the Question, he just wanted a breakdown of the workers, and 411 is a good breakdown. Also, 66 workers from his constituency is a very good number. However, if he wants further information, I ...
