"content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order No.44 (2)(c), I rise to request a Statement from the Leader of the Majority Party with regard to the legal status of Legal Notice No.16 of 2003, whose intention was to cancel Legal Notice No.534 of 1997, which was to implement the automatic House Allowances, Medical Allowances and Commuter Allowances of our teachers. In his response, I would like him to clarify the following:- (i) what the recommendations of the Committee on Delegated Legislation were, following deliberation of the same upon petitioning of the National Assembly by the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) on the legal status of Legal Notice No.16 of 2003, which was tabled in this House on 3rd January, 2013; (ii) what the Government has done so far in honouring their part of bargain on the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Government of Kenya and the KNUT on harmonisation of teachersâ salaries with the salaries of civil servants, and on the terms and conditions of service, dated 3rd September, 2012; (iii) whether the Kshs103 billion factored in the 2013/2014 Budget is sufficient to cater for the teachersâ salaries and allowances sought by the KNUT; and, (iv) whether the resolution under Minute 402, 2013, of the meeting between the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and the KNUT held on 6th February, 2013 has so far been implemented."
