    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to draw specific attention of hon. Members to the schedules, particularly the one on disciplinary offences. You will recall that in the retiring law, there used to be an appeals tribunal. I want hon. Members to look at this very carefully, bearing in mind that the power given to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to discipline teachers in Article 237 should not be taken at face value. The rules of natural justice apply equally to quasi-judicial as well as judicial bodies. Therefore, the disciplinary process must also respect the human rights of our Kenyan teachers. I will be looking forward to fertilization of greater ideas in the Bill from the Floor. I welcome improvement and suggestions on this very important law so that the quotations that I have opened up with distinguish human beings, quoting a living African legend, so that they can be realized in this country during our lifetime."
