    "content": "The same thing is happening with this issue of interdiction. The same people we are interdicting are the same people who are supposed to teach. How can policy become forceful? What happened to public participation? I cannot see the Chairperson of the Committee on Education, Information, communication and Technology here. In terms of education, all of us need to sit as the House of wisdom, together with the Ministry and reason with them. We need to tell the Ministry that this is our country and they are hurting our children and teachers. These same teachers who campaigned for this Government are the same ones who have been interdicted. Have they been interdicted for not refusing to teach or not going to school? Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, other leaders and Senators are not speaking enough about the lack of public participation on the Huduma Namba, this curriculum and many other things that the national Government is doing, which appear to be forceful. That 95-year old woman who is supposed to get Kshs2,000 from the village contributions is told that if she does not get the Huduma Namba, she will not get that money. A total of 58 teachers have been interdicted from a County like Kajiado. In every essence, any person who is teaching in Kajiado County is teaching in a hardship zone, where they should get hardship allowance and yet, 58 of them have been interdicted because we want to force everything. On the other hand, the things that we should do; like provision of laptops, we just dump them in school and it is forgotten."
