    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. First, I laud the petitioners. I have many cases of teachers in my constituency, both Mutomo and Ikutha sub- counties. They have been coming to my office asking me whether I can assist them in getting promoted. The promotion of a teacher should not be politically influenced. Someone should not know a Member of Parliament to get promoted. I have cases of three schools in my constituency that are waiting for teachers to be promoted. I have been waiting for the last year. These schools are Isaa Secondary School, Vote Secondary School and Sea Primary School. My Director of Education in Mutomo can attest that the information on my desk is that we need to wait for teachers to get promoted. It has taken more than one year. It is sad that very well-trained teachers and others who have gone for higher education are not getting promoted. As this Petition goes to the Public Petitions Committee, I call upon Members of this Committee and the House to ensure we give the required support to our teachers."
