    "content": "Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to seek a statement from the Chairman of the Committee on Education. The ever growing number of university students has stretched the ability of lecturers to cope with the capacities. Some universities, therefore, have hired part time lecturers to plug in the deficit. It has now turned out that some of these part time lecturers are a disgruntled lot due to delayed payments. The common complaint is a breach of contract especially not being paid according to the agreed terms. This has happened mainly in public universities; Nairobi and Kenyatta universities where their arrears are between six months to two years. In my statement, I seek a clarification on the following issues. (1) What is the Government’s policy regarding part time lecturer payment terms? (2) When will all part time lecturers in all public universities be paid their dues that have accrued and are long overdue? (3) Will the arrears be paid, especially for the two years plus interest?"
