The National Assembly Committee on Labour has launched an investigation into the allegations of sexual harassment of workers in tea firms captured in the BBC exposé.
The Committee led by Runyenjes MP Eric Muchangi began the probe on Friday.
It met with security officers from Kericho County, who briefed them on their findings on the matter.
"We held a closed-door engagement with county security officers who provided us with very critical information," he said.
He said they met with the officers because they had already started their investigations and the committee needed to know their findings.
The Committee visited one of the tea firms where they interrogated the top management over the allegations.
"We have started well with our investigations and I believe at the end of our facts-finding visit here we will have gathered vital information that will help us in report writing," Muchangi said.
The committee is planning on meeting with the staff of the other tea firm to gather more information on its management.
The probe was launched after the issue was raised in Parliament by Kericho Women Representative Beatrice Kemei.
On February 21, Kemei requested for a statement from the chairperson Labour Committee on the alleged sexual harassment of female workers in various tea estates in the county.
The Speaker then directed the Committee to investigate the allegations and present their report to the House.
This followed an exposé by BBC Africa of how women in tea firms were sexually assaulted.
The committee members include vice chairperson Muli Kyule (Kangundo MP), Richard Chonga (Kilifi South MP), Barasa Patrick (Cherangany MP), Chiforomodo Mangale (Lunga Lunga MP), Peter Kihungi (Kangema MP), Leah Sankaire (Kajiado Woman Rep) and Lillian Siyoi Chebet (Trans Nzoia Woman Rep).
Kemei and Senator Gloria Orwoba accompanied the committee as interested parties.
