    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to start by congratulating you on being in the Chairperson’s Panel. I know you are up to the task. I listened to you debate yesterday and I was so impressed. Secondly, I have seen we have visitors around. When we are debating on teachers, I am sure this is noble. I have been a teacher for over 20 years. As we discuss and debate today the Motion on Review of Teacher Deployment Policy, it is something that is very close to my heart, because I have been in the sector. I support the Member who brought this Motion because it is very important. Over the years, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has not been performing as expected. I asked for transfer from Kericho to Nairobi where I taught for 13 years. However, it was not very easy. I also realised that many other teachers ask for transfer from one place to another just to join their families or for many other reasons. It was not easy. When TSC started delocalisation of teachers, many of them were affected. When you look at the age of some of them who were told to move from one county to another, it brought too many problems. Teachers from my county have been complaining and they are stressed. Some of them have developed mental health issues. Their payslips cannot support them. In this case, Teachers Deployment Policy should be reviewed. When the President signed a charter with the teachers for that matter, the point that stood out is that delocalisation should happen The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
