    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the two Petitions. It is vitally important that when teachers retire, the TSC must move with speed to prepare their pension files and forward them to the National Treasury so that teachers are paid without causing them undue hardship. We know very well that in the villages, teachers, especially retired ones, live miserable lives. They have to make several journeys to Nairobi to try to claim their pensions. This is attributed to the fact that TSC sits on their files for ages instead of forwarding them to the Pensions Department for processing. As regards promotion of teachers, it has come to our attention that there are senior teachers who are deployed by education officers in sub-counties. After a long period of service, TSC tries to say that it does not recognise them. That is not acceptable. The TSC must get its act right. The same applies to deputy headteachers who have been in acting capacity for many years, but when the time to give them appointment letters come, you hear TSC saying they do not have the necessary grades. You wonder why they were in acting capacity for that long if they did not have the necessary grades. These are excuses by TSC so that it does not take care of teachers the way it is supposed to. Can TSC get its act right so that teachers are properly served? Thank you."
