    "content": "Thank you, Hon Speaker forgiving me this opportunity to join other Members who have contributed to this important Motion. I have very little to speak about this today but my main question is why this issue has taken too long. The Tenth Parliament discussed this issue, but nothing was done about it. This is the Eleventh Parliament and we are still talking about paying pension to the retired teachers. This House should be given reasons why there has been that delay. Those teachers are citizens of this nation. They did some good work and retired like other public servants who have retired in this country. Why have they not been paid their dues? I request Hon. Members to pass a resolution today those teachers should be paid their retirement dues and this should be taken seriously by the people who are responsible. Hon. Speaker, before I conclude, I want to congratulate the Members of the National Assembly for approving the nomination of Hon. Eugene Wamalwa for appointment as the Cabinet Secretary for Water and Irrigation. As the Chairman of the Luhya Elders in this country, I want to thank the President for doing a wonderful thing. I appreciate this with all my heart. The Leader of the Majority Party should advise the President to continue appointing people from this community."
