    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to also support the Petition. We are all a function and product of teachers. Teachers have done. They have made a lot of contribution to Kenyans up to where we are today. Without teachers, we would not be having the kind of quality of politicians we have in Parliament today. We would not be having the doctors that we have in the country. We would not be having the professionals that we have in the country. We need to appreciate that people fail exams at any given point depending on the circumstances they were in at that point in time. People have gone back to school improve their capacity of delivery of service. If a teacher has gone back to school because he or she realised the opportunity this would open up for them, or the value it would add to the community and Kenyans, they should not be punished. Rather, they should be rewarded. The practice of “punishing” teachers, by not promoting them on account of what they have sacrificed so much to achieve, should stop. As my colleague has said, education is an investment like any other."
