    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Petition on unlawful deductions by TSC to KUSNET. This Petition is the tip of the iceberg. Workers across this country in all sectors have had problems with unions or institutions that collude with employers to deduct money from them. This is a pointer to what is affecting a number of employees, both in the public and private sectors. This union, known as KUSNET, which has deducted money from teachers, needs to not only refund that money, but also with interest. This is because the teachers did not append their signatures that they be deducted the money. Through the Departmental Committee on Labour, this House should look into all Government agencies and private sector players to ensure that organisations that illegally deduct money from individuals are surcharged and brought to book. I have seen the Chairman of the Committee around and I hope he will pick up the matter. This will serve as a lesson to others who have not been pointed out. I support and ask the Public Petitions Committee to take action. 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."
