    "content": "appreciate the critical role played by teachers in the nurturing, developing and growth of our children. Secondly, I urge the Government to understand and appreciate that creating and licensing schools without posting to those schools adequate numbers of teachers to teach our children does not make any economic sense to the country, parents and everybody concerned. Thirdly, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to urge the Government to ensure that the many trained and registered, but unemployed, teachers in the country be recruited by TSC, and the TSC be adequately financed through the budget to recruit enough of these teachers. Fourth and lastly, I would want to see particularly schools in the far-flung areas of Kenya like Marsabit, Wajir, Mandera, Garissa and Turkana, where teachers have routinely been sent there as a form of punishment; that this kind of skewed policy must stop. Enough teachers must be recruited and sent to those schools because the children in every part of this country deserve good, adequate and available teachers. They must have teachers to teach them, so that at the end of the day, a child in Kilimani Junior Academy and the one in Kibish and Maikona all sit for the same exams and must have been taught by teachers of the same caliber; same training and treatment from the national Government. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I salute this Statement. It is now the duty of everybody in this country, who makes policies, not to flip flop, the way we are seeing the Ministry of Education making contradictory statements every other day about our education. They should instead streamline the management of education in the country, so that our children get the best out of what they deserve. I thank you."
