    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, Ms. Martha Karua asked whether the Minister has breached his undertaking. The Minister for Finance has not breached the undertaking to pay the teachers before Christmas. Instructions were made to pay but this requires the authority of the Controller of Budget. That is where the hitch came; the Treasury gave instructions that the amount should be paid. Under the new dispensation, any amount to be withdrawn has to be approved by the Controller of Budget. That is the time she raises issues. She just wants a confirmation that the court order supersedes the Pensions Act. Once that is done, it will be paid. The money is there and has been budgeted. In fact, every year we will be paying Kshs3.6 billion so that we meet the full amount of Kshs16 billion as awarded by the court. The evidence is there. I have all these letters from the Attorney-General. Even as late as yesterday, we sent a reminder."
