    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The TSC has the constitutional mandate to hire and deploy teachers in the country. I support delocalisation the way Hon. Atandi does. However, TSC in implementing this policy has been doing so in a punitive manner that dehumanises teachers. In Kisumu West, there is an instance where both husband and wife are headteachers. One has been transferred to Kuria West in Migori County and the other to Alego Usonga in Siaya County and they have got small school- going children. So, I agree with Members who say that in transferring teachers, the TSC should look at the needs and capacities of each teacher, so that they do so in a manner that is not punitive, in a manner that is humane. Hon. Muiruri’s petition raises serious issues that should be considered. Lastly, if Hon. Sossion was here he could have explained to the House. I think there is a matter in court pertaining to this particular issue. Probably when the matter gets to the committee, they will look at it. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
