Yes, hon. Speaker. I know he has asked about public libraries and their establishment. So, I request the hon. Member to give us two weeks so that we can consult and then give an answer.

Thank you, hon. Speaker. Already on our Order Paper, we have the Kenya Qualifications Framework Bill, a Bill that has already come before the Committee and been moved by the Leader of Majority Party. So, that issue is going to be addressed. It also originated from the Ministry and if there is anything that we can communicate before then--- I am hoping that when the Bill comes to the House, we will have full support so that the above questions are answered.

Thank you, hon. Speaker. The issue that the hon. Member has raised is very important. As a Committee, we have been discussing the matter of the retired teachers of 1997. Yesterday, we discussed with the Budget and Appropriations Committee on how to include in the Budget the amount that has been owed since 1997. On the issue of compensation, we need to go back to the Ministry. We will give an answer from the Ministry in two weeks’ time.

Hon. Speaker, that is why the matter is in court. There was some miscommunication between the Office of the Attorney-General and the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) when the court awarded the amount of money. Apparently, at the time the teachers were retiring, the amounts reflected on their payslips were not what were awarded by the High Court. So, we will meet with the Ministry of Education, the Office of the Attorney-General and the TSC, so that we can clear the matter. I hope that the hon. Member will be available.

Hon. Speaker, I agree with you. This is a national issue. It is true that many of those retired teachers have already passed on. Others are living in abject poverty. So, we will make an announcement in the House as to when we will be meeting the TSC, the Ministry of Education and the Office of the Attorney-General, so that as many Members as possible can attend and ask questions.

Thank you, hon. Speaker. I also want to thank hon. Ababu for bringing this issue to Parliament. You know Maranda High School is one of the best performing schools in this country. As a Chair, I do not want to speculate because a lot has been written in the newspapers. I will seek to find out the information asked for by the hon. Member from Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC). I note that you have asked for 48 hours and I know the Cabinet Secretaries and Principal Secretaries--- I would kindly request that we be given up to next week ...

No, hon. Speaker. I just want to make things clear here. Hon. MutavaMusyimi knows that I was ready yesterday, I went before his Committee and they were not yet through with the Supplementary Budget. I also spoke to him today and he gave me a date for Tuesday at 11.00 a.m. So, it is sad for it to be---
