    "content": "I have given two teachers appointment letters to go and teach the people down there; I want everyone to take this example. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale should not only take issues and oppose them. Let us take the important part of the Motion that you are discussing. It is not only the Executive to blame, but every one of us has contributed to this problem. In fact, the previous Government is the problem, caused by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), the agent of all these problems that we are encountering today. We wanted to solve this problem today. We fail to plan, and we do not plan to fail. You are the one to plan for our future; you are the ones who have to plan for our children. Let us negotiate; let us discuss the problem seriously and say this is the route; this is how we will deal with this problem” because the Senate is composed of mature leaders. The Senate is the Upper House; the Senate is the House where things are resolved. The Senate is actually not like the House of MPs, where you heard the MPs being called ‘pigs.’ We do not want to be called pigs like our friends there. So, please, we want our teachers to be paid; I want our principals to take note of this seriously, because if I am employing ten teachers from the little salary that they have given me, what about our Executive, who are able to employ hundreds of teachers from their pockets? Why can they not take this issue seriously and pay teachers enough salary so that we can take forward our lives so that we can, at least, get learned Kenyans? Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."
