    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also want to add my voice to this debate. While I agree with the sentiments of the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research, we sometimes also need extreme measures to address some of these issues. I think sometimes the Government does not take security matters seriously because we have seen teachers being flushed out from those areas. We have seen religious profiling whereby people who do not belong to a particular religious segment are flushed out and sometimes even executed. These are issues we need to address – issues of security – and that is what is happening in Mount Elgon, North Eastern and other parts of this country, putting the lives of Kenyans in danger. For our children to get quality education, there must be security. There must be security and we should not address issues casually. The TSC and the Government as a whole must look at the issues of how teachers are going to provide quality education to every corner of this country. Such cases have been seen not just in those areas, but even within Nairobi. We are having serious issues of shortage of teachers and we have so many teachers who have been trained and are waiting for employment outside there.
