    "content": "On 11th February 2014 vide a court ruling in Nakuru based on HCCC 65 of 2006 and Nakuru Civil Appeal No.300 of 2009, the teachers won; the courts decided that the teachers had to be paid. The Kshs42 billion was to be split among 52,338 teachers. The Treasury then budgeted for Kshs16.7 billion in the 2014/2015 Financial Year but till today, despite this very House passing that those teachers be paid, the Treasury has been unable to pay them for the reason that it is waiting for legal guidance and counsel from the Attorney-General’s Office. We need to realise that as much as this Report has recommended what should be done, it has failed on one element. That is the element of putting heat under someone’s comfort zone. Without this House passing resolutions and without this House being able to stir the right emotions for someone to move, then things are going to remain as they are. We are going to remain in the status quo that we have always been in. People need to be held accountable. We have people who have defied two supreme institutions in this country. The Judiciary has been defied and Parliament has been defied. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
