We need to expedite action because people were removed from their land. We even saw graves as evidence that people were living there and they were chucked out. We need to really respond to these issues which are pertinent to these people. I thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker.

the illegal deductions of monies to a trade union, ostensible representing the teachers teaching in disability schools, KUSNET. I think that this is a bigger scheme by TSC as others have alluded to, to fragment the unions, namely; the powerful unions like the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) and Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET).
