    "content": "THAT the affected teachers have been writing to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) by themselves and through the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) to stop the deductions without success. THAT in some instances, TSC stopped the deductions for a while that were later affected again. THAT teachers have a right not to be economically exploited by their employer in collaboration with the Kenya Women Teachers Association (KEWOTA). THAT the members have made every effort to resolve the matters raised in this Petition that has proved futile. THAT there is no case pending in a court of law, constitutional or any other legal body on the matters raised in this Petition. HEREFORE, your humble petitioners, pray that the Senate, through the relevant committee, finds that the TSC has unlawfully been deducting monthly membership subscription fees from the female teachers on behalf of the KEWOTA and recommends that: (a) The deductions be stopped forthwith. (b) All the money deducted be refunded forthwith with accruing interest. (c) Find that TSC and KEWOTA committed an economic crime and recommends that they be investigated by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) for possible prosecution. (d) Finds that the membership of KEWOTA is null and void for luck of free consent of the members to belong to it."
