    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker and I stand guided. I stand to support the Motion. The TSC is one of the Chapter 15 Commissions and Independent offices as envisaged in the Constitution from Article 248 to 253. The independence of those Commissions, TSC being one of them, is indicated in Article 249(2) (b). They are not under any direction or control. The TSC is a body corporate. This means they have the mandate to run their affairs independently and without any interference. For them to operate optimally, the TSC can only do so when it has all the requisite commissioners in place. The nomination and the subsequent vetting of the nominees is welcome and it is a big relief; though belated. I believe sooner or later, they will be in position to face the gigantic challenges facing the teachers of this great nation. The challenges have been so many and it is hard to enumerate them. The northern Kenya issue is one that is with us and it will take some time before it is resolved. Teachers have always used KNUT and the tyranny of numbers to muzzle the State and make sure that they are paid even when the core economy may not afford what they are demanding for. The fact that the country is under-staffed is also another big challenge and I believe having the right Commissioners will help this country to salvage the education sector that is bleeding seriously. I have one serious observation to make about this Report in as much as I support it. We have always used the gender rule unfairly to catapult some officers to jobs which they may not deserve. If you go through the Report, according to the interview and 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."
