    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first and foremost, let me take this opportunity to thank the Committee chaired by Mrs. Noor for a job well done. This matter came to the House pursuant to a Question that I raised in the House on 29th November, 2010. The Question was not satisfactorily answered by the Minister. So, the matter was referred to the Committee. As I support, I would like to move an amendment to the Motion which, as you said, was approved by the Speaker on the 19th of this month. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the Motion be amended by inserting the following words immediately after the figure 2011. The words are:- “subject to insertion of the words “being the principal amount plus accrued interest up to the date of payment as between Kshs9,250,104.50 and the word “terminal” on the recommendations of:- Bullet 4.0.0.II on page 15 of the Report.” Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the effect of that amendment would be to pay these employees what has been recommended by the Committee. If these amounts are owed to the employees, they ought to have been paid at that point in time. If these monies are being paid today, it means that money that was owed to the employees at that point in time is being paid today. It is only fair that these monies be paid with interest up to the time that it would have been paid. Mr. James Maina Kamau will be seconding this amendment."
