    "content": "Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No. 44(2)(c), I hereby request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology concerning the unfair dismissal of one, Mr. Mwiti Alfred, a teacher. Hon. Speaker, Mr. Mwiti Alfred, TSC No. 309983 was dismissed from his position in 2007 by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) on alleged cases of carnal knowledge of students. However, it is reported that investigations into the matter by the Board of Management of the said school found the teacher innocent. The TSC did not give him a fair hearing. The Chairperson should inquire into and report on the following:- (i) the reason why, despite the teacher having been cleared of the charges twice by the school management, he has not been reinstated by TSC; (ii) when justice will be served to this teacher, including reinstating and compensating him for the time he has lost in proving his innocence and charges the guilty party; (iii) whether there is any policy in place by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology and TSC to protect students from sexual predators in schools; and (iv) what measures have been put in place to deal with teachers found engaging in such illegal conduct. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
