    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for that intervention. The consultations were too high. There are amorphous bodies being formed in this country. One of them is the association led by someone called Ndunda, which has been causing a lot of confusion. At some point they take over a school and ask people to elect parallel boards. We want a situation where parents and teachers have one voice. We have seen a calculated move to kick teachers out of management of schools. If you kick out teachers, you will have a lot of trouble. We currently have a lot of trouble employing enough teachers in this country. Therefore, teachers should have a voice in deciding how schools should be run. In fact, teachers should work hand in hand with parents to identify additional teachers to be engaged by the Parents/Teachers Associations (PTAs). Now that teachers have been removed from the association, it is no longer PTA but Parents Association (PA). This is because of Ndunda and his amorphous team. We even wonder whether they have students in schools, or they are just appointing themselves. This Bill should make it very clear that there should be PTAs, and they will elect their representatives in the various schools. It is not important to have an amorphous body directing schools on how to run, yet it has no stake in schools. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
