    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I want to start by thanking and applauding Hon. Kaluma for this Motion. He has raised a conversation in this country and I think as at now, the discussion has normalised. This is because it was very emotional in the beginning but people are now reasoning. Hon. Temporary Speaker, the biggest question that we must ask ourselves is whether the CBC system is good. My answer is “Yes.” Is the implementation of this system right? My answer is “No.” Therefore, if the question that the CBC system should go on is answered, then we need to address the issue of implementation. I want to ask for an audit of the system so that we can look at it again and note where we can correct. In my view, what we need to address is more on the challenges of implementation of the system. There was also another question that one of my colleagues raised here about the teacher training colleges. I am a worried man because all the teacher colleges in this country are almost empty and yet we are implementing the CBC. We should ask ourselves how we can go back and train more teachers. We should carry out more audit and craft a crash programme on training teachers so that we can implement this education system. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I also wish to ask the Government to allocate more funds. I am going to ask the Government to channel the funds through the NG-CDF. We must allocate more money to the NG-CDF so that we can implement some of these programmes, particularly on infrastructure. I support the Motion and state that the CBC should continue but we must amend several areas. This House has a duty to make sure that the system works. I want to ask the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research to address the working Committee, look at the whole report and we amend it where possible. I support CBC and thank Hon. Kaluma for bringing the Motion to the House."
