    "content": "No, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I just wanted to say that I am happy that the Committee did a very wonderful thing. I want to thank the courts because the teachers had been trampled for long. The teachers were awarded a good amount of money. That money will go a long way to help them. It is unfortunate that we have lost quite a good number of those teachers. They have been coming to my place for long. I have lost around three of them, which is very unfortunate. When you look at how they are living, it is very unfortunate. It is also very unfortunate for officers in Government and, in particular, the Attorney-General--- If I was not in Parliament, I could have used what the Leader of the Majority Party used in Narok the other day, when he confronted the Governor for Bomet and said: “ Hii pesa siyo ya mama ya mtu.” Our parents have suffered for long. It is unfortunate that as we ventilate on this, I know that my friend from Bondo had it right that this thing should be implemented. There are issues of school fees, sickness and several projects that are stalled because of a delay like this. With time, the Government will work on it. Those guys who said that teachers hold around Kshs153 billion, they are being told that they are actually wrong. The figure is Kshs42 billion and the Government, as we are speaking, had appropriated about Kshs16.7 billion. What is remaining is not much. It is my special plea that we take this matter very seriously. Let us be courageous."
