    "content": " Thank you so much, Hon. Speaker. I want to support the Petition by Hon. Omboko. As the Committee goes to look at this Petition, could they ask the TSC whether they have finished training and retooling teachers for CBC? You cannot be coming with a programme and before you implement it, you come up with another one that has no relevance to what you had planned earlier. The focus now should be on retraining and retooling teachers to be able to implement CBC effectively. Secondly, sometime back, the Kenya School of Law was denied the chance to train lawyers who wanted to join the Kenya School of Law and their training was given to one university called Riara, without procurement or anything. Riara University came and added more courses and it was difficult for anybody who came from out of the country to join Kenya School of Law, even after having a master’s degree. There are so many teachers’ colleges in this country. These teachers are trained by teachers’ colleges, why can they not go back to the same colleges for the CPD? Why would they now go to universities, if the training was done at Tambach Teachers Training College? If your training was done at Eregi, why would they force you to go to the university for CPD which takes only two weeks? Finally, whenever teachers suffer, our children suffer. When teachers’ welfare is not handled very well, they will just go to school and do nothing. The TSC is messing up here. They should put their act together, promote more consultations, but above all avoid hubris. I want to request the Committee because TSC believes they can always get their way into that Committee, to put its feet down and decide that on this matter, they would not listen to hubris. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
