    "content": "(Emuhaya, ANC)): Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity. I rise to support this Petition. It is true that the teachers entered into an agreement with the Government that was led by then Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) Secretary-General, Adongo. In 1997, the Government was supposed to have paid them their full dues, but due to the fact that the Government said it was unable to pay the dues at once, it was paid in small bits within a period, originally, an agreement of five years and later extended to 10 years. When these teachers finally retired, some of them were retiring earlier than the period within which the payment had been done. If the Government of Kenya would have had the money and paid at once, they would have benefited in total from the amounts that accrued to them as per the agreement by the Government. Unfortunately, because the Government was unable within the 10 years, some of them had retired and this is the case before you in this particular Petition. Therefore, they actually deserve to be paid their money because if the Government had the full amount, it would have paid them accordingly. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
