    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. When we adjourned, I was encouraging a synergy between the teachers’ trade unions and the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) in ensuring that performance in schools is part of their focus and that head teachers who constantly post poor results should be deprived of the opportunity and privilege to head schools. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to look at Article 18 on page 1360 which talks of the Commission in its recruitment policy, taking into account persons with disabilities and regional and ethnic diversity of the people of Kenya. While this is very good and consistent with the provisions of the Constitution, increasingly this provision of regional and ethnic diversity is being abused and I hope that the Commission in adhering to that, will take into account the route of equity and not equality because equity is as important in balancing the diversity and the regions as it is provided in the law. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Article 30 on the removal of teachers from the register, first of all, it is my humble view--- I do not see the Minister for Education here and I do not know who will take into account what we are saying because this is his Bill."
