    "content": "we do to get ourselves out of this stalemate? That is the most important thing for us to understand and look at, as Parliament. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as the teachers go on with their strike, which they are entitled to do under the law, it is only fair that they do so with decorum. What we saw in the media yesterday, where some teachers were frog-marching other teachers and stripping them semi-naked, thus humiliating them in public; is not the way to get the sympathy of Kenyans. Teachers need to conduct themselves with decorum. Teachers need to conduct themselves with decorum but as they do so, I wish to concur with hon. Affey and hon. Peris Simam for saying that the only way out of this crisis is for the Ministry of Education to co-ordinate very closely and urgently with the Ministry of Finance so that a supplementary budget is brought to the House and approved, and arrangements are made to pay the teachers what is due to them. If this is not done, then this country runs the risk of sliding down slowly to management of affairs of staffing by strikes. That is not what we want to do. Already, we have had enough strikes and we do not want any more. But on this occasion, the teachers are entitled to what they are asking for. The only thing that the Government should do is to invite them on the table and have them accept the mode of payment of what is due to them."
