    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to also make my contribution in support of the appointment of Dr. Lydia Nzomo. A lot has been said by my colleagues and I do not want to overemphasize this. However, for once, the Education, Science and Research Committee, led by the interim Chairman, hon. Melly, has done us proud this time round. When they were vetting the other TSC Commissioners, Mr. James Nkoroi was nominated as a commissioner and some commissioners who had no issues were thrown out. This time round, they have done a commendable job. There are various issues that Dr. Nzomo has said that she will take head on when she is given this responsibility, like ensuring that the teachers sign performance contracts. This shows that she is ready to bite the bullet while many people have feared to trend that route. Teachers’ performance needs to be tracked, so that our children in schools can perform well. There are so many disciplinary cases with the TSC which have never been canvassed. She has promised to handle these disciplinary cases, some of which are neglect to duty. Some teachers have discipline cases because of harassment of ladies in our schools. I know she will handle this."
