    "content": " Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, without going into the merits and demerits of delocalization, the Senator is aware that ever since this administration came into being, we put a lot of emphasis on the fact that we cannot be able to have this policy of delocalization. We have on the contrary what we call nationalization. Ever since the time we started this, a lot of progress has been achieved. Quite substantial progress has actually been done in this particular aspect if I can be able to give figures. One, the policy has been reversed unlike the way it was before because it had become kind of a policy that if you are working in your home area, you are transferred to another area. That has been reversed such that even in employment, if you want to be given priority to be in your own county that is taken into consideration. So, we have put a stop to that and have had a very good progress in this. The number of teachers that have so far applied to the TSC for transfer from one county to another as at June 2023 is 46,962 applications across the country, out of which those who have already been transferred to their home counties are 20,055. We have been able to give a table explaining how this has been done. Specifically coming to Nandi County, the number of teachers who requested for transfer to Nandi were 1,005. Out of the 1,005, the number that have so far been placed is 828. The others are being processed. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as explained in the answer, we also want to create stability in the teaching sector. Sometimes you find that a school has 10 teachers and all of them are applying to get out of that particular school or others are from other parts of the country. We have to ensure that there is proper replacement as we transfer them out so that learning goes on. We are not at 100 per cent of this process. We are at around 40"
