    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join the rest of the Members to support this Petition. Teachers go through a lot of problems. The other week, we were discussing a matter involving the non-payment of teachers who marked exams. It had taken long. The issue of P1teachers affects most of our counties. The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) should take charge and resolve these issues. I was just discussing with my colleague, Sen. Okiya Omtatah, on the implementation of resolutions of this Petition. We have had many issues touching on teachers, which have been processed either in the National Assembly or here. However, TSC has heard nothing, seen nothing and not acted. The National Assembly passed a Motion against the Delocalization Policy. However, the TSC has not moved in to resolve that problem of delocalization. I am sure that on this one, the TSC will not move in with speed to deal with this problem of non- payment to the P1 teachers. Something needs to be done. The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) keeps saying they are an independent Commission, but this House has the powers to deal with matters concerning the people of Kenya. One of them is issues touching on teachers. The TSC Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Madam Nancy Macharia, is so powerful that you can go to her office and she decides not to see you. We have gone there so many times. When you go there, you can sit in the waiting room for many hours, but she does not see you. Eventually, she sends her Personal Assistant (PA) to come and see you. It is high time that this country got rid of state officers who behave larger than life, such as Ms. Nancy Macharia. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support."
