    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I support Hon. Omboko Milemba who is actually a mwalimu. Bringing this Petition here is a move geared towards protecting teachers. I am sure this House will protect teachers because they are suffering. Nowadays, no one in in his or her wildest dreams would want to be a teacher. In fact, entering the teaching profession is just by default. If you ask any school-going child what they want to become, none of them will say they want to be teachers because of how teachers are mistreated in this country. Professional development of any profession is supposed to be done by professional bodies, not employers. As an employer, if I force people to go for refresher courses, I will charge them cumulatively what I have been paying them. I will force them to go for refresher courses where I have already agreed with the universities or schools they will go to. As Hon. Mbadi has said, how did they pick those four universities? Some of them are private universities. Were there some kickbacks that were applied to the TSC? We must protect our teachers. Therefore, I hope the Departmental Committee on Education and Research will protect our teachers."
