"content": "THAT, noting that the Government has not paid teachers who retired between 1997 and 2003 their dues in revised pension funds amounting to Kshs17.6 billion; aware that the Minister for Finance on 22nd February 2012 informed the House that the money had not been paid due to a query by the Controller of Budget, which required the guidance and opinion of the Attorney-General; further aware that Kshs3.34 billion has been factored in the 2011/2012 Budget and risks being returned to the Treasury at the end of the Financial Year; noting that the Minister stated that the payment of these funds will be affected as soon as the Attorney General renders an opinion; mindful that the delay has caused the parties untold pain and suffering, this House urges the Government to pay retired teachers their dues without further delay."
