    "content": "I want to plead with the Minister, who is my party’s Secretary-General, to handle this matter with a lot of care because we do not want to lose the support of teachers by virtue of the way he approaches this matter. He should get the Cabinet or the President or the Prime Minister to respond to this matter, which has arisen as a result of failure by the Government to play its role and not as a result of failure by the Minister, as an individual. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, hon. Mutula Kilonzo did not sign the agreement with the teachers in 1997. The agreement was signed by another Minister who may or may not be in this House. It was a Government decision. It was not Mutula’s decision. So, I want teachers to understand, when they see hon. Mutula Kilonzo speak; that, he speaks because the President and the Prime Minister have asked him to speak that way. Therefore, there is need for this House to assist hon. Mutula Kilonzo. For that matter, I want the Minister for Finance to bring a Supplementary Budget to the House for approval to provide for money with which he can pay the teachers of this country what is due to them. On the other hand, I want to plead with teachers that, because we are approaching the national examinations, they give dialogue a chance. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
