    "content": "people. If there is any law which is hindering the retired teachers from getting their right, then it is upon this House to move amendments and provide for how pensions and retirement packages are supposed to be paid. Even the Government has a moral authority to respect senior citizens of this country. When I talk of senior citizens, I am talking of these teachers who taught and retired way back in the 1990s. Many of them cannot even afford medical bills, transport or a decent meal, yet they worked for this country faithfully. They were very diligent, honest and served their country with dedication. As retired heroes of this nation, we are now putting them through a lot of sleepless nights. Their children cannot even go to school. They cannot honour their bills. I want to urge this House that we pay these teachers. Even if it is how much, let it be paid to the last cent. We have a moral obligation as leaders of this nation to also respect workers who have worked. When we also retire one time, we will need to be respected and heard. We will need our dues to be paid in time. So, I urge Members that we pay the retired teachers. I urge you to support this Motion. Thank you."
