    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to add my voice to the Statement sought by Sen. Munyi Mundigi on the welfare of the teachers who are engaged in the upcoming national exams; in terms of administering and marking exams. For the first time in the Senate, we have an opportunity to play our oversight role on matters that have not yet occurred, instead of sitting and waiting for teachers to complain that they have not been paid after administering and marking exams. For the first time, we have the opportunity to oversight. I support the request by Sen. Munyi Mundigi in terms of having transparency of those contracts and the engagements of the teachers so that we can establish whether they are being paid enough to administer and mark exams. In terms of the conditions, at times these teachers are put up in cramped up areas and are expected to have high output. If this Senate can see to it that the welfare of these teachers is proper beforehand, then we shall be breaking the record being the Upper House and on oversight. I thank you."
