    "content": "they go to? They are crazy. They should be ashamed of earning free salaries. This is the fundamental thing that should have driven them to get the law right. Lest our children who are following this debate are lost in thinking that this is the only injustice in this country, may I remind them that we have a lot of injustices in this country. We hope that Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. and his Committee will also come up with Bills on the other injustices. We have injustice on land, but Kenyans should not forget that we have also the injustice that was meted on our heroes; detention without trial. You all know what hon. Njindo Matiba is going through. He was one of the first young Kenyans to become a millionaire. But because he had the dream of social justice, he has been reduced to something very close to a vegetable. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we want to see the injustice of having some few Kenyans enjoying wealth which they acquired through unjustifiable means addressed. This is a serious injustice because they do not deserve this wealth. They are living large and big. We need to address the pain of the families of the people who went through political assassinations. We have also to fight against another emerging injustice. We now are living with an injustice in our midst of allowing only the children of the rich to be in school and the balance of the children to be at home. This is shameful. How do our colleagues on the other side want us to address it, so that they understand that the issue of children being at home is not an opposition problem, but everybody’s problem? Unless those who live in State House are not people, this is a problem that concerns all of us. It is Mark Twain who said that when you close down one school, you must be prepared to build a prison. He went on to say that what you gain at one end, you lose it at the other end. It is like cutting the tail of a dog, feeding that dog on it and expecting that you are going to fatten it. The President should stop thinking that by cutting the “tail” of teachers – their buttocks - and wanting them to feed on it, because they have nothing else, they are going to become fat. He must pay our teachers."
