"content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This Petition on the mistreatment of teachers by the TSC needs to be looked into quickly and addressed urgently. The TSC is known for its notoriety. It has perpetuated certain ills to teachers. Hon. Mbai, my friend and the Chair of the Public Petitions Committee, needs to delve into it in depth, and find a permanent solution. Article 36 (2) of the Constitution says that a person shall not be compelled to join an association of any kind. Whereas Article 36 (1) of the Constitution pays credence to get into any association of your choice, one cannot be compelled to join any. Therefore, it is a matter of right. It is a fundamental freedom that we enjoy. Therefore, the TSC is rearing its ugly head on teachers' affairs without their approval. It is giving a seal of approval on any kind of association and that must be nabbed. The sooner we do this, the better so that our teachers can have unfettered freedom that is being enjoyed by anybody else. Lastly, those are teachers who are handling special cases. We all understand how difficult handling children or students in general is. This is a special unit that is being handled The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
