But if you want it to go on the Hansard and he reads, I have no problem. If you want to raise it in his presence, we can do that tomorrow morning. You will get a better response when you raise it in his presence. He is one of our most regular Members."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker for this chance. This House has stood for Kenyans in many sectors, including education. Education is an enormous sector. I want to thank the President because we needed teachers and he went ahead to employ 56,000 of them and 20,000 interns, making a total 76,000 teachers. I also want to thank this House because it allocated about Ksh1 billion – though small – for promotion of teachers. The vacancies for promotion have already been advertised. There is a circular from the National Treasury that has been directed to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) instructing them not to use funds that are within the Commission. These funds arise because of teachers who leave the profession through natural attrition, resignation and many other ways. These funds are usually put together and used for promotion and employment of teachers. Education is a sector that we guard all the time. However, this circular in Clause 25 to be specific, has stopped the Commission from doing so and yet money is available. The TSC does not need money from the Treasury to promote 45,000 teachers. Therefore, what is preventing the promotion of 45,000 teachers in Kenya is a circular from the Treasury. It is against this background that I seek your indulgence for the Cabinet Secretary and the Permanent Secretary of the Treasury to be called upon, through the Majority Leader or the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Education, to rescind that circular. Teachers’ challenges are handled on a need basis. As teachers leave the profession, others need to come in because there is a continuous shortage of teachers. That is my prayer."
