    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I support this Petition. It is timely and TVET institutions since 2013 have not been fully operationalised. I think most of the functions are still being carried out by the TSC. It is high time the function of management and training of lecturers is taken up by the TVET Board. The TSC is currently grappling with the problem of managing teachers. So, loading them with more work will not be of help to Kenyans. In northern Kenya where I come from, the TSC has completely failed in the management of teachers. They are the ones who have caused the shortage of teachers in constituencies in my area. Giving them more work and loading them with TVET institutions will not help. Very soon, we will hear lecturers and teachers of TVET institutions being withdrawn from certain areas by the TSC. Their policy is not inclusive and is completely not in line with the aspirations of teachers and Kenyans especially in northern Kenya. It is high time that the TVET Authority takes over the management and running of its institutions from the TSC, so that the TSC remains with teachers training."
