    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me time to respond and in my response I want to start by thanking the Assistant Minister for the assurance he has given this House. I want to thank the hon. Members of Parliament who have very ably agitated that the teachers deserve to be paid this money. I also want to thank the teachers, both the ones in service and those who have retired for working for Kenyans without any kickbacks the way it is done elsewhere. When we talk about teachers’ pensions being delayed, it reminds us of the money that Kenyans have lost through other channels whereby corruption has taken place. Teachers have remained non-corrupt. You cannot bribe a teacher to teach your child. Teachers do their work without any form of coercion and they do it because they love their job and, therefore, it is very much disturbing to me and many Kenyans that we are talking about teachers’ pensions and gratuities being delayed because of bureaucracy in the Government of Kenya."
