    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, teachers as other workers deserve better treatment. We are not only talking about the delay of teachers’ pensions but we know other colleagues that have done very good jobs in this country who are not being paid the pensions that they deserve. We talk about the police and the armed forces. These are people that have defended this land and when it comes to their pensions, they have a problem. When we come back to the teachers, a Chief Principal who retired about ten years ago is given a pension of about Kshs15,000. A P1 teacher who retired about four years ago is given a pension of over Kshs15,000. Is that really fair? It is because somebody somewhere and in this case I narrow it down to the two officers, has not come out to clear the case in point. At this juncture I want our two principals to listen to me and understand what I am talking about. These are the teachers that elected the NARC Government. These are the teachers that elected in the current Government and, therefore, we want to ask them to come out and give directions that this money is paid without delay before the end of this financial year."
