    "content": "which have been cited by the teachers as they go on with strikes. To avoid such strikes, in future, this Committee should be charged with such responsibilities of trying to analyze and coming up with court cases. It should also check whether these cases have been honoured by the said departments, so that we do not land into problems, the way we are doing with the teachers. Madam Temporary Speaker, when you talk of Kshs32 billion owed to retirees, some of whom are dead and others advanced in age, it is very unfortunate, noting that these are people who worked tirelessly during their youthful days and years. For record purposes, they are known to exist, but the flimsy reasons given either by the TSC or departments of the same Ministries are wanting. This Committee also needs to have teeth, to follow to the letter such court awards and ensure that they are honoured and paid on time. If this happens, we will not have problems in future emanating from such departments, more so, if it is zeroed down to the county levels. This is because as these people get to some advanced age, it is also dangerous for them to travel to Nairobi to claim their dues. That money can even be swindled from them by thugs. So, it is important that we get to know what is happening. If the fate of retirees is known, it is possible even to prepare their cheques six months before their retirement dates. As soon as they retire, the cheques are handed over to them, so that they can enjoy the benefit with their families or next of kin. Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to support."
