    "content": "We also made several observations as has been well articulated by the Chair. Section 6(2) of the TSC Act envisages a situation where the Commission, which is more or less an executive Commission, has diversity of expertise. In our case, all the people who were presented to us for vetting had a background in education. Actually, 90 per cent of them do their job in Jogoo House. Outside there, the perception has been that the troubles at the TSC are a creation of Jogoo House. Up to recently, we were aware that the TSC has been a semi-autonomous Government agency under the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology. It has been managed by Jogoo House. All of us here know that we have serious issues with the TSC today. Just recently, we had a massive teachers’ strike. We have serious issues with regard to the number of teachers we have. The teacher shortage is bitting and it is a question that we ask when we go to our constituencies. We needed people who have diverse experiences, and who can be creative and innovative to sort out the issues at the TSC."
