    "content": "Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I wish to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology regarding teachers who retired in 1997 and even earlier. The retired teachers went to court, seeking a resolution regarding their unpaid gratuity and other dues. The High Court ruled in their favour and awarded them a total of Kshs16.4 billion. The Treasury budgeted Kshs3.34 billion in the Financial Year 2009/2010 and Kshs2.6 billion in the subsequent years for payment to the retired teachers. However, not a single cent has been paid to date. As at now, 350 of those retired teachers have passed on while the rest continue aging and suffering."
