    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity also to support this Motion. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in supporting this Motion, let me say that this is not just a Motion for Adjournment. It is a Motion of no confidence in this Grand Coalition Government. When we promulgated the new Constitution we entrenched the system of committees. The committees are the vehicles through which the Kenyan public addresses and reaches Parliament. When the Budget Committee held public sessions, they listened to the teachers and heard contributions from the Kenyan citizens. Based on those contributions, they made recommendations. Those recommendations were adopted by this House. It is not right to suggest that because last week the House passed the Budget, we overruled the decision of the Committee, because it was approved by this House and has legal effect. So, failure to honour the decision that was approved by this House undermines the Constitution we passed. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the people of Central Imenti are in solidarity with the teachers. They are asking the teachers who are trained with public funds, in private institutions, also to show solidarity with the teachers in the public institutions and also stay out. They are also asking parents to ensure that their children stay at home because it is safer to stay at home than to be out there without teachers; until we pay these teachers as mandated by a resolution of this House. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support the Motion."
