    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to second the Motion. I come from a constituency that is near Kilimambogo, next to hon. Nyenze’s constituency. After Independence, most of the young people who were there went to Kilimambogo and became teachers. They taught my father and I. Now time for retirement has come, and those people are suffering. I have watched several of them die. Others continue languishing in poverty yet they taught me and my senior brothers. In this House, we represent those who are working, those who have retired, those who are healthy and those who are not healthy. The previous Parliament discussed the issue of these retired teachers. At one point, they even made a resolution on the matter. Even the then Deputy Prime Minister had undertaken to ensure that those teachers were paid their dues in instalment. The then Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance is the current President of the Republic of Kenya. He is aware of this issue."
