    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to issue a Ministerial Statement. I wish to respond to the hon. Member for Vihiga, Mr. Chanzu, on the question about the criteria used in the current exercise of recruiting teachers and also to clarify why the recruitment is not being done through the respective District Education Boards (DEBs). The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is mandated to conduct recruitment, remuneration and discipline of teachers among other functions. Accordingly, on Thursday 18th and Friday 19th March, 2010 the TSC advertised a total of 2,780 posts for primary and post- primary institutions in the print media both in the Daily Nation and the Standard newspapers, respectively. This was a routine annual exercise for replacement of teachers who exit the service through natural attrition and not recruitment in actual sense. Recruitment is meant to increase the number of teachers and is usually funded by Treasury."
