    "content": "is true that the TSC needs to sit down with teachers to listen to their plight, especially with regard to the delocalisation programme. The other issue that came out the other day is that of having to do continuous professional development where teachers have to pay from their own pockets. They are actually required to do so. It is almost a must that they pay. The Government knows that teachers get meagre pay. The Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research is here. Listen to our teachers. They are getting the same amount. They are supposed to pay Kshs6,000 per semester. Get a kitty. Let the Government subsidise that expense. Get funding for it if you really love our teachers. We know the kind of work they do. We know the kind of output we get from teachers. We can only be fair if we can assist them to do those courses, if they must; because it is continuous development. Just budget for it and get that agony off our teachers. With those remarks, I pay tribute to all the teachers in the country. You are, indeed, doing work out there. Continue doing the same and we will stand with you where we can. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
