    "content": "I have to give another example.Our children have just done an examination and currently, the examination is being marked. However, the teachers who are marking are really complaining. They wake up at 4.00 a.m. and sleep at 11 p.m. How do we expect them to deliver quality work as required when the managers of the education sector have turned rogue? They are dictating to everybody. The CS for Education is painting a very bad picture in the country. We need to ensure that the people we appoint are people of integrity. They are people who have displayed that they are able to work with other people. The fact that you are given work as a commissioner does not mean the staff working under the commission is not supposed to be respected. You must respect the rights of that individual. Everybody has a right to sleep for eight hours to be productive. However, you find teachers being asked to sleep for five hours and are supposed to deliver good results. That is not going to work. I encourage SRC to not only look at salaries but also the conditions of work. If the conditions of workers including teachers are vulnerable, then they are building a bad culture and our children are going to suffer. I want to support what the former President Mwai Kibaki used to say. He used to say: “Let us not work very fast as if there is no tomorrow.”In Kiswahili, he used to say: “Tuko na haraka ya kwenda wapi na kesho iko? Hata kama unaharakisha kwasababu unataka kufa, kufa!”"
