    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, the proposed allocation under the Programme in respect of Recurrent Estimates, the figure Kshs7,009,125,526 be deleted and substituted thereof with the figure Kshs6,809,125,526. This is a reduction of Kshs200 million. As I said yesterday, we raised Kshs1 billion from the education sector - Kshs800 million which came from the universities and this Kshs200 million from TSC. This does not in any way relate to the hiring of teachers. We have endeavoured to safeguard the budget for hiring teachers. This was an additional allocation that we had given to TSC to enable them to purchase vehicles for supervision of teachers across the country at the sub-county level. Upon discussions with the Chair and the Departmental Committee on Education and Research and with the new policy in Government to lease vehicles instead of outrightly purchasing them, we thought that it was one of the additions that we could take back. We took back Kshs200 million which was designated for purchase of vehicles. This is the money that went to the recruitment of teachers for TVETs."
