    "content": "A very important point has been raised by the Whip. This is the issue of lawyers collecting signatures pretending that they can push for this money to be paid. The award has already been done by the court. So, the payment is between the Government and the teachers and no lawyer should be given any money for this. For that matter, I will say that the Government, which I represent here, has already allocated the money and no one should stop it from being disbursed to teachers. The Attorney-General should give his opinion because he had his time in court. The court awarded the teachers the money. So, there is no other business apart from dispersing this money. Whoever is raising the query should have gone to court and not to anyone else. So, we are in full agreement with this Motion that we should not be holding this money any longer. In fact, it is a pity and as hon. Ababu Namwamba was saying, on behalf of the Government, I would like to apologise most profusely to the teachers who have been waiting for this money for this long."
