    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank this House and the two Principals for their quick action. Remember that it was just the other day when this House rejected the first names and they were very quick in responding and sending us new names. But I just want to say to the two Principals that we know that they are very busy Kenyans. Therefore, there is always need to give time to reports that are given to them by various panels that are nominated to sit and interview people, so that some of these small anomalies could be corrected. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to totally agree with the House that the Panel needs to be investigated. From the word go, there were serious concerns by Kenyans until we, as a Committee, even summoned the panel ourselves. For the information of the House, the name of Lydia Nzomo was actually not forwarded to the two Principals. So, they are really clean as far as the position of Mrs. Lydia Nzomo is concerned. Many Kenyans raised a lot of issues and I support the need to investigate this team. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, by returning the position of the Chair, I want to believe that the Teachers Service Commission, with eight Commissioners can function until such a time that we will get a substantive Chair who shall have gone through a competitive process that is transparent, open and has no discrimination and malice in it. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish those who are going to be appointed the best. This county expects a lot from them. We know that there are serious concerns about teachers’ management in this country. There are also serious concerns on the relationship between the Ministry of Education and the Teachers Service Commission."
