Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I said that we have that problem in Baringo and other counties in northern Kenya. I am happy that the kind of security reports we are getting from Baringo and the entire North Rift are quite encouraging. As a Government, we are managing insecurity problems that we used to encounter. Progressively, as we move on, we will restore law and order in those areas. I want to make an undertaking to my friend from Baringo that in case we have the local people, we will give them the first priority. I was in West ...

number of teachers because we will have replacements out of the 20,000 that we will recruit. Sometimes we find ourselves in a serious situation whereby you find a school with 10 teachers and almost half of them applying for transfers. If you do not have replacements, it can cause a problem because it is like closing down the school. Hon. Senator, I assure you it will be done. I submit.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as I speak, the Commission is not owed any outstanding remittances by the teachers’ SACCO and unions such as KNUT and KUPPET. As we are aware, the Commission maintains an account with the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) where all third-party transactions are conducted. Once the National Treasury transfers the amounts required to the Commission’s CBK account, it is supposed to forward the amounts to the three mentioned entities.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, usually, the delays are occasioned when the Exchequer delays. I confirm to the House that we have paid all what was outstanding. As at now, there is no amount that has not been paid to the two Unions and the SACCO.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is right that no one should be forced. The KNUT is voluntary. A teacher must fill a form and submit it to the TSC. The same applies to KUPPET and SACCOs.

If there is such an isolated case, kindly bring it to my notice so that we are able to take the necessary action. I so submit, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir.
