I referred to them as irregular and unusual. Those classes are irregular because there is no legal requirement mandating weekend lessons. If teachers, students and parents agree, they can hold remedial classes. However, it is not a Government policy to conduct lessons over the weekends. Such arrangements are informal and made at the discretion of those who are involved.

Speaker. The processing of Mr Salim Mndalu Ndegwa's pension stalled due to the disparities in his set of names, as indicated on the various documents in the TSC record. The teacher's names on record seemed to refer to different persons. The Commission communicated this to the teacher. He was requested to obtain a deed poll if he intended to have changed his name. It is noted from the record that the teacher's documents bear the following different sets of names: Salim Mndalu as one set, Ndegwa Mndalu as another set, Mndalu Chirunga as another set, and lastly, Mndalu Salim Ndegwa Chirunga, respectively. Those disparities were noted in the academic and professional testimonials, as well as the old-generation identity card that, that particular teacher used. A reminder was sent to the teacher vide a letter dated 15th February 2024, to submit a deed poll in order to regularise his names. However, to date, that teacher has not submitted the same to facilitate the finalisation of his claim. A copy of the letter to the teacher is provided as Annexure No 2. Thank you, I submit."},{"id":1498510,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1498510/?format=json","text_counter":104,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Hon.
