    "content": "Tinderet, JP): Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to speak to this matter. I want to support the Budget and Appropriations Committee. However, as my colleagues have alluded, the Supplementary Appropriation III, which Hon. Lessonet has just moved, is unprecedented. This is because it is actually not a manifestation of good learning. The Cabinet Secretary was supposed to foresee that. On the education sector, and I have been a Chair of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research for quite some time, this is very important especially as we move towards reopening schools. We need enough classrooms and desks especially in primary schools. Investment in these particular areas is very important noting that children in primary schools sit on benches or desks three or four of them. The fact that they were able to invest that amount of money which is over Ksh1 billion in prefabricated lockers is a very important thing. Now that we want to flatten the curve, the money that has been set aside to buy desks and lockers needs to be spread across the country. I also want to point out that the classrooms need to be spacious. This is to allow the practice of social distancing."
