    "content": "I support the Petition brought by Mr. Too. It is sad that 25 years later, some teachers have perished and their dependents are struggling. A sum of Kshs3.3 billion was allocated years ago by the former President, Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta. If we are losing Kshs15 billion in 26 minutes, what is hard for the former regime to have paid Kshs3.3 billion to teachers? The greatest teacher of all time was Jesus Christ. The point is; this is a human rights issue and not an ordinary one. It is a labour rights issue. These teachers must be paid their dues in full. If they have beneficiaries and dependents, they must be paid. The teachers continue to undergo a lot of challenges. We are not saying that teachers are more special than other professionals like journalists, pharmacists, engineers and lawyers. However, let them be considered in a fair way. It is very unfortunate that they cannot be paid Kshs3.3 billion while we are losing Kshs15 billion in 26 minutes."
