    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I indicated that, yes, teachers will retire through natural attrition, but we do inspection and sometimes there are complaints from parents and committees. When there are those complaints and when there is inspection, action is taken against a teacher who is seen to be a non-performer. So, we do not wait until they retire if they are not good. We also do not transfer them to other schools because that is transferring a problem. We, normally, ask that they get demoted. However, there are local communities which have taken their own initiative. For example, in our district, if a teacher has not been performing for five years, we have agreed that they resign voluntarily as headteachers. If they do not, then we find a way of forcing them out. So, it is up to us to also take the initiative and take action. We do not have to always wait until somebody comes to do it for us even when a teacher continues to mess up a school for many years."
