    "content": "That is not something that requires any budgeting processes at all; it is their money. During a sitting of the Committee with the Controller of Budget and Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury it was said clearly that they had the money and that they were willing to pay. However, the Attorney-General, who rarely attends the meetings and instead sends his juniors, made sure that the retired teachers were not paid. We are one of the arms of the Government. Since the courts have ruled that the retired teachers should be paid, Parliament should say the same. Since the previous regime had agreed to pay them, the current Government should honour the promise of their predecessors. They should respect the court order and the resolution of this House. It has come to my notice that this matter went up to the Supreme Court."
