    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I rise to support the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research on the proposal to have more teachers. Statistics are very clear that the country has a shortage of 104,000 teachers. The projection by the TSC within the next four years shall be 150,000 teachers. The Government has marshalled 100 per cent transition rate. There has been a huge investment to attract learners to school. There cannot be quality education without employing and recruiting enough teachers in our public schools. The projection of TSC has been approved by the National Treasury which is hiring of at least 22,000 teachers annually with a Budget of Kshs10billion. We have been discussing, moving money and votes across the board. Surely, at this age and time, should we negotiate employment of additional teachers in this country?"
