    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am not privy to any information that I face competition from my colleague, Senator. As far as I am concerned, she appears not to be in competition at all. We are just playing our roles as Senators of the Republic of Kenya. We happen to come from Trans Nzoia and we complement each other. We do not always have to agree on each and every issue. I do not even think that I contradicted her. I quoted her. I said that as Sen. Mukiite had said, even chiefs had to teach in Turkana. I was agreeing that this issue can happen in Turkana since it has also happened in the north eastern region. I was coming closer home to talk about Mount Elgon where I said that some teachers had to leave the area due to clashes. Up to today, that constituency has not recovered from shortage of teachers. Whenever teachers are posted there, sometimes, some of them decline. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with regard to teachers who have left those counties, the Ministry of Education has, at times, created the opinion that they have deserted duty and, that therefore, they are culpable and could be dismissed. Every citizen is guaranteed by the Constitution of the right to life. It is the responsibility of the Government to make sure that the person gets the protection and is The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
