    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support the Statement on the teacher’s medical cover by Sen. (Dr.) Murango. I agree that teachers suffer. If they are not fighting for hardship allowance, they are fighting for medical cover. If they are not fighting for medical cover, they are fighting for the implementation of the CBC. I am happy the brand new Chairperson of the Committee on Education is in the House. The sad thing is that when teachers retire, they use their retirement years looking for their benefits from the Teachers Service Commission (TSC). It is very unfortunate that we, as a country, are never grateful to teachers. This issue of teachers’ medical cover must be addressed because there is a crisis. I know of a number of teachers who are suffering because no one is taking care of them. The TSC is supposed to be protecting teachers, but they are the oppressors. They should be facilitation them. As the police officers protect us, their medical cover is also in chaos and it must be addressed. I support this Statement on medical cover. Let teachers be given what rightfully belongs to them. It is not a privilege; it is a right under the Constitution. I thank you."
