Eldas member of parliament, Adan Keynan, on Friday condemned the failure of Teacher Service Commission(TSC) to send teachers back to Wajir.
Government teachers had earlier defied the directive by TSC to have them go back to their stations in Wajir county following an attack by Al-Shabaab that claimed the lives of 2 teachers.
The teachers have hence been camping at the TSC offices demanding a transfer to new and safer stations.
"I condemn the attack by Al-Shabaab that resulted in the death of 2 teachers.TSC, because of that incident decided to transfer all non-local teachers.Therefore, TSC has decided to deprive children of their constitutional right to education," said Mr. Kaynan.
The legislator condemned in equal measure the attack as well as the TSC's move to get teachers out of that county.
He claimed that the children are innocent and if anything, providing security is the responsibility of the government.
"Therefore if we are condemning the attack by these militia group, we are as well condemning the act by the government to transfer all non-local teachers.
These children are innocent and security is the responsibility of the government." Mr. Adan said.
He continues to say that they will no longer allow Wajir to be used as TSC recruitment centres every time, employing and transferring teachers.
The former ODM mp made it clear to TSC telling them that they have very little time to make things right by asking the teachers to go back to their stations or they will use any constitutional means to punish them.
"TSC has not done a good thing, in fact, what they have done is worse than what Al-Shabaab did because Al-Shabaab killed only two teachers but TSC is wasting away the lives of thousands and thousands of students," Mr. Keynan claimed.
