"content": "Secretary, Prof. Kaimenyi, there is no way these Regulations can be implemented, yet this House is not seized of the matter. We have had notices for strikes by the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) and the Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET). These are some of the things that we can eliminate. We do not want this confrontational leadership style. It would be nice, and Prof. Kaimenyi should move with speed to have the Regulations brought to the Floor of the House for us to debate. According to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) Act, it is only the TSC that has the mandate to manage teachers in terms of firing, hiring, disciplining and maintaining the records. We do not know where he is getting powers to try to push to have the head teachers or the principals to report directly to him. It is important for us to debate these Regulations here. We have been told that on 20th April, 2015, the National Police Service is going to conduct police recruitment. The Regulations on this police recruitment have not come to the Floor of the House, so that Members can also make an input. We do not want to repeat the last mistake where a court nullified the exercise. We are told that on 20th April, 2015 we are going to have a fresh police recruitment and there are new regulations. This House has not seen the regulations. Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is important that you give direction, so that whenever the Executive is implementing regulations, they first pass through the Committee on Delegated Legislation before anything can happen."
