    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, in summary, this Petition is on matters concerning teachers who retired between 1997 and 2007. I thank the Petitioner who brought this matter before the Committee, Mr. Philip K. Too. As a Committee, we deliberated on the issue and involved all the stakeholders. The stakeholders include the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT), the Kenya Union of Primary Education Teachers (KUPET), the Retirement Benefits Authority (RBA), the Chief Executive Officer of Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and the Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury and Economic Planning. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we had a total of 23,487 claims of teachers who had not been paid their arrears and pensions. We engaged the Ministry of National Treasury and Economic Planning and they came to the Committee just the other week. They confirmed that they have paid a substantive number of teachers this pension. They also confirmed that the rest, 1,300 teachers whom are yet to be paid their arrears, will be paid within three months. I lay this Report on the Table of the House as a concluded report by the Committee. Thank you."
