    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, you heard the hon. Assistant Minister’s answer. The policy on the implementation of this is very wrong. In answer to part “a” of the Question, the Assistant Minister says that he is not aware that the TSC Act is being contravened. This answer is based on ignorance because the preamble to Chapter 212 of the Teachers Service Commission Act says that it is an Act of Parliament to provide for, among other things the determination of remuneration of teachers and purposes connected therewith. In addition, Section 13 of the same Act gives the provision for the establishment of an agency known as the Teachers Service Remuneration Committee which is engaged for the purposes of fixing the remuneration of teachers. So, clearly, if the Ministry is going to hire teachers directly then that is a direct contravention of the Act and the Ministry must accept that. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the reasoning behind this is all wrong because the amount of money for constituencies is the same irrespective of the number of enrolment per constituency. The number of pupils in primary schools in Kisumu Town West Constituency may not be the same as the number in North Horr Constituency. Why is the amount the same? This is an issue that the Ministry must answer now!"
