    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have instructed all the line Ministries to provide sufficient and adequate funds for payment as per court orders because this is where the problem comes in. Kenyans may sue the Ministry through the Attorney- General, but the Attorney-General does not have the money. When he requests the line Ministries to give him the monies to pay and they say they have not budgeted for it, it becomes difficult to execute court orders. So we have asked all the line Ministries to prepare and provide for adequate funds to be meeting all the court orders. But this was not foreseen and in addition to these three people who retired, as I said, there are other thousands who were affected and we are saying that we do not want them to go to court. So we want to sort out this issue once and for all. As I have said, we have calculated the liability; it is Kshs3 billion. I have provided for it in the Budget and I am only asking for the next three months and this issue will be over."
