    "content": "Order, Members. Member for Kiambu or Kiambaa, what are you doing? You cannot do that, Member for Laikipia. The Member for Kiambu is senior enough now. He should have told you that, that is not what is done. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No. 225(2)(b), I wish to convey to the House that my office has received a Petition concerning alleged unlawful and irregular transfer of teachers in Wajir County. The Petition is signed by Messrs. Hassan Mahat, Abdihakim Shamake, Abdikadir Hassan and Mahat Ali. The petitioners allege that the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and its leadership has failed to execute its duties as required by the Constitution, the TSC Act, 2012 and the Children Act, 2001, by failing to protect the rights of children to education and by irregularly transferring non-local teachers from Wajir County. The petitioners further contend that, as a result of the transfers, learning has been paralysed in the county. The petitioners, therefore, pray that the National Assembly causes the TSC to review its policy regarding transfer of teachers to address the concerns of the irregular transfers and make any other order or direction that it deems fit in the circumstances of the prayers. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.227, this Petition, therefore, stands committed to the Departmental Committee on Education and Research for consideration. The Committee is requested to consider the Petition and report its findings to the petitioners and the House, as required under Standing Order No.227 (2). The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
