    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you know that by the time one retires, they have served the Government and are in the time when they need assistance most. These people need to be paid. This is because they went to court and there was a High court ruling that they should be paid. It is not a lot of money. It is about Ksh40 billion. I urge the Government to pay these retirees their dues because some are sick, old and poor. It is bad when someone who has served as a teacher cannot buy medicine in their old age or they cannot live well because of lack of their dues which the court has ruled that they should get. This country is ruled through the rule of law under the Constitution. I urge the Government to make provision and I urge my colleagues in this Parliament to appropriate monies in the budget to pay these retired teachers."
