    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Report and more so on the area of the TSC and the issue of hon. Mak’Onyango. Relating to the TSC commissioners, I think the Government is being very unfair to the teachers because we know the work of these commissioners. They handle very important roles for the teachers. These are issues to do with discipline and other important issues relating to teachers’ issues and I think it is important that these commissioners are appointed. As we are talking, we have only one commissioner and they need a quorum just as we do in the House and unless that quorum is achieved then no business can be conducted. On this basis, I think it is important that the remaining commissioners are appointed. I think the Attorney-General has given his legal opinion where he says that already people were interviewed to be commissioners and were not appointed. So, the fact that we were not able to pick those who were shortlisted, I think it is important that we can get more commissioners from the remaining lot and we have a fully constituted TSC so that its work is not constrained."
