    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker for the opportunity. Since last week, I have been receiving phone calls from teachers drawn from Nyando Constituency, some of whom are asking me to provide them with monies so that they can attend this training. My late father was a teacher. Unfortunately, before he passed on, he advised me to become a teacher as a last resort. That was based on all the mistreatment that was perpetuated on the teaching fraternity then. The same mistreatment has continued to date. This is a unilateral decision that has been made by the TSC without looking at the costs that will be passed over to individual teachers. Organisations carry out trainings and refresher courses. However, that is usually at the cost of the attendant organisation. For the first time, we are seeing an organisation passing the training costs to its employees. That is utterly unacceptable. As has been ably alluded to by Hon. Omboko Milemba, our teachers do not make much money. Dispensing Kshs6,000 towards that training is in itself a mistreatment. We, therefore, ask you to apply brakes until all the necessary remedies are put in place for teachers to undertake that training."
