    "content": "I rise pursuant to Standing Order 48(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Education concerning salary deductions of about 570 special needs education teachers and remitted to the Kenya Union of Special Needs Education Teachers (KUSNET) In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Explain the legal basis for the unconsented deductions being made on salaries of the special needs education teachers and remitted to KUSNET. (2) State when the unconsented deductions so far made on the salaries of the said teachers, will be refunded in full and unconditionally. (3) Elaborate and authenticate the services so far rendered to KUSNET since its inception. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Article 36(1) of the Constitution states: “Every person has the right to freedom of association, which includes the right to form, join or participate in the activities of an association of any kind. (2) A person shall not be compelled to join an association of any kind” Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is a perturbing issue that special needs teachers have been complaining in the mainstream media about their money being deducted and remitted to an association they have not prescribed to. They have not registered to join this association known as KUSNET. They have persistently informed their employer to stop these deductions, but the TSC has not honoured their plea. That is why I am seeking for answers from the TSC. The TSC should clearly state the basis for these deductions. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the TSC has been having issues with special needs teachers. Many a times TSC has been summoned here to explain why they have continued with these unconsented deductions."
