    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am aware of certain cases which took place and every day, I come into contact with those category of teachers. I come across teachers whose names were removed from the register of teachers because of certain things that took place. Those teachers have become destitutes. They were trained to be teachers and they are professionals. But when that incident happened--- There were allegations of obtaining transfers fraudulently from one district to another. There was a very large number of such teachers who were involved, particularly in the counties of Kisii and Nyamira. They were being aided by people within TSC to obtain those transfers. Whether the transfers were regular or not regular, I am not sure whether the matters were exhaustively dealt with. I plead with the new TSC to revisit those cases so that those people are afforded an opportunity. In any case, if they were teachers, they cannot be removed from the teachers’ roll permanently. I think we should have a limit. If they were suspended, there should be a definite period of time within which that suspension lasts. But they cannot be suspended forever. So, I am appealing to TSC to re-look at those cases and ensure that an opportunity is given to them to be listened to."
