    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I support the amendment as moved by my friend, Sen. G.G. Kariuki. Madam Temporary Speaker, I would also like to bring to the attention of the Members the fact that the reason we have these delays is as a result of lack of documents and necessary technology. Software should be provided from the various departments to deal with retirees only. This will enable them to know that in a certain year, for example, at the end of 2013, a certain number of people will be retiring. I will take the case of teachers, for example, because I am a former teacher. The Teachers’ Service Commission (TSC) should have come up with a list of those will retire towards the end of any year. This Committee, therefore, should be able to check and know how many people are retiring from every department at any given time. Madam Temporary Speaker, it is also important to consider cases where courts have given awards to the retirees. I have a case in point where several teachers retired several years back. The case was taken to Nakuru. The Nakuru Court awarded the teachers a retirement package totalling to almost Kshs32 billion. This is one of the cases The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
