    "content": "especially secondary school teachers, has been a very big problem to us, more so in my constituency. In fact, the most important question in this Statement is the last question about the protection of local communities. We have a situation in this country where whenever teachers are recruited, our constituencies become recruitment centres or employment bureaus for people other than the people whom we represent. We get a very big backlash, as elected leaders, when our own teachers come to seek for employment, and they are turned away because of this factor. These are very good factors that the Chairperson has read. This is a very comprehensive Statement, but it does not help me as well as the people I represent, and I will go home very disappointed. The ideals of the Constitution are fair; everything is fair, but the reality on the ground is that the people we represent do not get these employment opportunites. I am very frustrated on what to do with the teachers who have graduated. We are all Kenyans. That is true. However, what do I do with all the teachers who have graduated? Some people from other regions come and get these jobs. It is something we need to consider as leaders in this Assembly, so that we give equal opportunity to local communities and even protect them more. This is a major problem. Once these people are employed, after a few months, they seek transfers."
