    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I will begin by supporting the statement by Sen. Onyonka on the promotion exercise that has just been conclude by TSC. I will borrow the words of Sen. Cherarkey that TSC is actually the headquarters of corruption. Notorious officials who I call rogue, are soliciting for resources from teachers who are already in a deplorable state in order for them to get promoted. In the just concluded exercise, we have teachers who have been in the service for over 17 years, but were not promoted. On the other hand, we have teachers who have just served for one year and were promoted. How can one explain that? I will use the words of a trade unionist by the name of Benjamin Burombo. He said that “when I am fighting for African rights, the other hand is busy keeping away Africans who are fighting me.” I know corruption will always fight back, but we will not relent on this issue. This is because teachers deserve support and good remuneration for them to have the motivation to keep offering their services to Kenyans. I call out TSC and mention that some of their officers have actually overstayed in office."
