    "content": "At one point in time, the Government set aside Ksh3.5 billion; they were ready to pay. I am the one who raised this matter during the Committee’s proceedings because I felt that we had failed in representing those people. At one point, former President Moi made a public declaration to the effect that those teachers should be paid over a period of time. During the reign of retired President Mwai Kibaki, it was agreed that they would be paid over a period of five years once the economy improved. As the House that represents Kenyans, we oversee the Budget process, project implementation and other public processes. I would like us to resolve that the retired teachers be paid their dues without any further delay. The Government should start by releasing their pensions right away."
