    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am not satisfied with the response because the Cabinet Secretary is answering about teachers who retired and had been awarded a salary increment in 1997. This is 27 years down the line and he is talking about a balance of 11,000 teachers who have not yet received their benefits. It is very sad to note that majority of these teachers have died and others continue to languish in poverty waiting for this payment. It is very sad when the Cabinet Secretary comes to the Floor of this House to say that there are 11,000 teachers remaining to be paid. He is not giving us the definite time when these 11,000 teachers will be paid. If the workers of this country diligently work for the Government for as long as it takes and then die without getting what is due to them, then this is something that I do not have any language to describe, especially on the suffering of these teachers. Let the Cabinet Secretary make a commitment to this House today on when these teachers are going to receive this payment."
