    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for allowing me to add my voice to the Petition concerning the pension and promotion of teachers. I was a teacher for 20 years. I understand and feel the teachers. Pension is something that is very important. The Leader of the Minority Party is looking at me. I was a teacher for 20 years. Teachers make the best leaders, especially in this House. We are called every now and then by the retired teachers, yet in the real sense it takes more than one or two years for them to get their pension. Some even die. I know of one case of the late Hezekiah Rotich. He passed on, but up to now, the family has not got the benefit. They go to TSC the way other Members have said. They are given letters to wait. However, that waiting has never come to an end. TSC has the capacity. They should fast-track the payment of pension. When it comes to promotion, one thing that is very clear is that teachers in the growing schools do not get promoted like those in well-established ones. This demoralises teachers who are teaching in the sub-county schools, yet in the real sense all teachers are qualified. I do not understand how those in established schools are promoted while those in growing schools are not. We know that the entry behaviour of learners in growing schools is 250 marks or less.
