    "content": "I am sure that the Cabinet is meeting now. The President is aware that he is sitting on a time bomb if this does not happen soon. So, I am aware that quite a number of people are advising him. Sooner than later, we are likely to get solutions from these deliberations. Sen. Wetangula talked about harmonization, I agree we need to harmonise salaries of all civil servants. The process is still going on. We have the SRC which is mandated to do harmonization of salaries in this country. Yesterday I said a graduate teacher earns less than a graduate of other disciplines. I am sure the Ministry of Education is aware of this and soon the teachers will be awarded what they have been struggling for. It is not good that teachers always get salary hikes or reviews when they go on strike. We hope that should not be seen to be the trend. I urge the Government to ensure teachers’ salaries are reviewed even before they proceed on strike. The other issue is about what Sen. Hassan was asking; what will be the source of additional funding. What are we doing to mitigate resultant budget deficits? That is still going on. I am sure various Cabinet levels will come up with a solution. So far, as it is stated here, learning is taking place partially in most schools. I heard Sen. Musila saying in his county, learning is not going on. In my county, learning is going on in some institutions. Hon. Senators, you can even see that in the gallery, we have students and teachers."
