    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I presume that this is my time to contribute and I would like to thank this Committee very much for showing love for our children and the future of this country. Recently, I visited Muruguru Girls in Nyeri. The school had gone up to a mean grade of seven but because of the teachers’ strike, it dropped to a mean grade of six. This drop was attributed to the teachers’ strike. The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is such an important institution in this country and the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology has made such substantial arguments that the opposers are actually struggling to find points. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you have seen a Member of this House almost turning this House into a drama festival. The opposers of this Motion are having a very difficult time opposing it because the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology has, for the first time, sought to bring to the attention of this House that it is not a conveyor belt. It is a House that can make decisions and think independently. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I regret that the process was fundamentally flawed. I am told by the Committee that even a lady from Homa Bay County was as good as her own county Member of Parliament in that vetting process. She will have now to go down the drain and come back in a fresh process. However, I would like to stand up and say that I would like that lady from Homa Bay County to come in a clean process that cannot be challenged by anybody anywhere. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I respect age."
