    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, he was born in Narok County and then he migrated. When you traverse the County of Narok, you will be shocked by the number of TSC teachers who are posted in that county. In Segemian, where the distinguished Senator of Bomet County comes from, there are literally zero teachers from the TSC. You will find that most of the teachers there are hired and paid for by the parents and most of them make less than Kshs4,000 a month. So, this audit is important because this is when we are going to realise which parts of this country are considered to be prime and others considered to be just the parts that make up the vote for any leadership in this country. When you go to parts of Mosiro in Narok County, they do not even know what a TSC teacher looks like. You will find that the majority of people who graduate from their Eighth Grade are the ones who are hired by the parents to teach their children. Therefore, I support this Motion because it will help us. I echo the words of Sen. Wetangula when he said that we ought to amend this Motion so that we can be able to do an audit of the entire teaching curricula in these schools. You will find that in most of these schools, even the ones that have one or two TSC teachers, very few teachers are trained on pedagogue. A lot of students there are taught subjects where teachers are not even qualified. Many of our students are taught subjects by teachers who are not qualified. For example, you will find a teacher who teaches history, probably he had a grade “E” in Mathematics and yet he is teaching also Mathematics in that school. We can add value by amending this Motion. We can also subject it to the Committee on Education which was set up today. I see very important people in that Committee. They have spoken confidently and have contributed heavily to this Motion. I see the distinguished Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri, who was the former Minister for Education. I also see the distinguished Senator who has spoken very confidently when contributing to this Motion. There is Sen. (Dr.) Langat who was a teacher and Sen. (Prof.) Sen. (Prof.) The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes"
