    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker for the opportunity to comment on the proposal given by Hon. Omboko. We have seen a lot of drama in the implementation of CBC. Teachers, students and schools have problems and everyone else. Every aspect of implementation should start with planning and budgeting. Was there any planning at all within the TSC or within the Ministry or TSC? Was there any budget? If there was no budget, how can they be expected to foot such a proposal? If the ministry is very clear in what they want to do with CBC, we should have a structured way of capturing some of these issues. Things have just been handled improperly. If there are standards operating procedures for this CBC to be implemented, why are we hurrying it? Let us not pass the cost to teachers. Teachers have so many obligations. Their salary is committed. They have bills to pay, loans to pay and children to feed, they cannot be budgeted for. We cannot allow the TSC to start taking money from the teachers. On the other hand, I think the Committee should look at how the TSC conducts its discipline cases. I have a case in point from my constituency where a teacher has been sacked for having been transferred by the same TSC. You get a request to go to TSC, they offer you a letter; they call you for a disciplinary action and then sack you. There is a problem in TSC. We need to investigate TSC. I support this petition."
