    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me the chance to also add my voice to the issue of promotion of teachers and payment of their pensions. I come from a teaching family. My parents and eldest brothers were teachers; the suffering of teachers is known to all of us. If there is an intervention that public servants seek from us Members of Parliament on a daily basis, it is the intervention on services provided by teachers. On a daily basis, teachers call us on issues of promotions, transfers and pensions. More importantly, the issue of promotion is skewed at TSC. Teachers with better qualifications and better performance in various schools are not promoted. Those who are promoted are not performing as those who are not promoted. There must be something wrong. Teachers ask us to chase their pension files at the National Treasury. I join my colleagues in saying that it is a known fact that teachers were employed on a specific date and their date of retirement is known to TSC. We call upon them to rise to the occasion and fulfil their responsibility. The Ministry of Education has the highest budget. I believe that TSC gets a chunk of it from the Ministry of Education. We ask them to perform their role, which they have been given in the Constitution."
