    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. That correction is really timely. I had misunderstood you. Thank you. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I oppose this Motion because of the teachers of the Republic of Kenya. This Government has very dangerous plans for the teachers. The Government is planning to force teachers to sign performance contracts when we are in recess. Performance contracts for teachers! How can you ask teachers to sign performance contracts with all the prevailing inequalities? There is no way a teacher who teaches in Embakasi Day Secondary School will post the same results like a teacher who teaches at Strathmore High School. First of all, we must address the prevailing inequalities in terms of staffing and facilities in our schools before we ask our teachers to sign performance contracts. We are not going to allow the Government to force teachers to sign performance contracts. How do you expect somebody who earns a net salary of Kshs12,000 in a month to be forced to sign a performance contract? The Permanent Secretaries (PSs) and Ministers are signing performance contracts because of the big salaries that they earn and they have the drive. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I oppose this Motion of adjournment because of the civil servants of Kenya. The civil servants of Kenya are all working in fear."
