    "content": "(iii)That when TSC defaulted in payment of retired teachers’ dues, the teachers went to court, where upon the court awarded the retired teachers their claims through a ruling by the Rt. Chief Justice Maraga. (iv)That the then Minister of Finance, Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta, had set aside Kshs3.3 billion in the budget of Financial Year 2011/2012 for this purpose. (v)That many teachers have perished while their dependents are suffering and living in abject poverty. (vi)That the petitioner has made all efforts to have the matter resolved but those efforts have been futile and the responses unsatisfactory. The Petition therefore prays the Senate to do the following- (i)Investigate the reasons why TSC and the Pensions Department have not worked out a plan to make payment for the retired teachers from 1997-2007. (ii)Intervenes so that the TSC and the Pensions Department expedite the payment of the claims and lastly, (iii) should the delay in payment be due to lack of funds, provision be made through a supplementary budget. Hon. Senators, pursuant to Standing Order No.231, I shall now allow comments, observations or clarifications in relation to the Petition for not more than 30 minutes. It is now 2.38 p.m. So, those interventions should be done within half an hour from 2.39 p.m. Proceed, Sen. M. Kajwang’."
