(Ms.) Odhiambo-Mabona","speaker":{"id":376,"legal_name":"Millie Grace Akoth Odhiambo Mabona","slug":"millie-odhiambo-mabona"},"content":"As a Committee, we were concerned about the issue of teachers and we had suggested hiring of more teachers because that is a challenge that we are facing as a country. I tried to pitch for an increase in tsetsefly management because a little money was put in. The issue of tsetseflies is a big challenge especially in my constituency. When the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources was speaking, he raised the issue of human- wildlife conflict. He said he is going to bring amendments. I know the challenges that we are facing because every Committee that came before us had a request for more allocation. If we are looking at the ceilings that were agreed on the Budget Policy Statement, then it becomes a bit of a challenge."}
