    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. However, there are issues that I think are not very clear. The question of TSC is of interest. At the moment, we have the teachers’ strike going on. We also have a vacuum in the leadership of the TSC. There was that panel that came up with the shortlist. The names that were shortlisted were not forwarded. It appears like there are other undercurrents, otherwise what is the basis for having people who are qualified and then contravening the very Act? The Government should take responsibility and obey the law. Those particular officers should follow the law. There should be no further interview carried out because that will be in contravention of this. We need to have the effective chairperson of the TSC and then other commissioners so that the TSC plays its rightful role in terms of guiding teachers. With regard to the Mak’Onyango issue, I think it is fair that the Government also takes responsibility. If this person was awarded, he should be paid. With regard to the ICC issue, I do not know who the ICC is serving. Even for the citizens of this Republic who have been taken to the ICC, even if the case proceeds, for sure, it will not serve the interests of Kenyans. Maybe it will serve the interests of others. Although the Government has its obligations to keep peace, the ICC should give us a break. They should allow Kenyans to continue with their own lives."
