    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to comment on the just concluded Statement by Sen. Cherarkey and the one for Sen. Kibwana. Under employment law, you cannot interdict someone when they seek to be transferred in a procedural way. You have to be given an opportunity to be heard. The TSC needs to relook at this. Teachers who have been interdicted for requesting to save their lives or join their families and have given good reasons, should be given back their jobs. Secondly, is on demolitions. This country has a policy that before demolitions, you consult with the local leadership. It has been proposed by the Deputy President. Also, the law is very clear on technicalities. After the current Constitution, you cannot dismiss any case in Kenya purely on technicalities. Therefore, on demolitions, suffering of people and destruction of property, if there is an appeal, an ongoing case or something is proven wrong, then the damage becomes too much for the Government, yet that action has been taken by people without proper consultations or instructions from their respective Ministries. Finally, is the issue of revocation of title deeds. There is only one National Land Commission (NLC) which can do so upon public participation and if a fraud or crime has been proven. Also, the rest of the titles are under the trusteeship of the counties. Under the current law, the national Government has no mandate to deal with any title in any way other than NLC or the counties. I thank you for the opportunity. I support all the Statements posted by Members today."
