    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, I would like to stand on a point of order to seek your guidance on the matter of the report by the Committee on Delegated Legislation that was tabled towards the end of the Tenth Parliament. The recommendations of the report have been a subject of discussion especially on the ongoing tussle between the Government and the Kenya National Teachers Union (KNUT) on the allowances and benefits for teachers. The recommendations contained there read as follows:- “The Committee hereby recommends that the House urges the Minister for Education to degazette the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) amendment order of 2003 gazetted in the Kenya Gazette Supplement No.17 of 21st February, 2003 as Legal Notice No.16 of 2003.” In seeking your direction in the matter, I met with the TSC together with the Union and the Union clearly said that the House was supposed to degazette the legal notice. I sought advice from the former Chair of the said Committee and I learnt from the report that it was tabled but it was not adopted by Parliament. Therefore, the Departmental Committee on Education, Science and Technology would like to get direction from you as to whether the Government is bound by such a matter before the House even though the matter has not been adopted by the House."
