    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to, at least, inform the House that I promised to bring the answer today. I have just received the answer after pressing for it for sometime. I will answer part \"a\" and \"b\" as provided in the answer. However, I will answer part \"c\" as I know this case. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply.

My directive was complied with by the TSC. Upon reporting to Kiambu Primary School, the working environment was so hostile that it was practically not possible for them to perform their duties. In this regard, the teachers were, therefore, thereafter deployed as follows:- Stella Munyua was transferred to Mbathi Primary School in Lari Division where she reported on 2nd April, 2007, and deserted duty with effect from 3rd April, 2007. Juliana Maina was transferred to Ngurianditu May 29, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1655 Primary School in Kikuyu Division where she reported on 2nd April, 2007, and"
