    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. First, I want to thank the Mover, our colleague, Hon. Tindi Mwale, for bringing this Motion. At the same time, I want to send my sincere condolences to all the parents, schools and classmates of all the children who have passed on. I am not going to spend a lot of time. I just want to ask a few questions, but I do not need answers. Who is to blame? We have talked about the relationship between the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health, but I think there is another problem. Teachers are falling victims of those failures. There is a problem of school management because of the tug-of-war between the Ministry of Education and the Teachers Service Commission (TSC). Long ago, we used to have school inspectors. It was a team from the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education. That inspectorate unit died and nobody seems to have taken care of it. When we talk about negligence, there is a war between the teachers, the principal or the headteacher, and the Ministry of Education. The Ministry of Education is in charge of the management of schools, but whenever they point out a problem in schools, the TSC is quick to come to the defence of the teachers and vice-versa. That is where the problem starts. We have spoken about sanitation. In this era, it is very unfortunate to note that many washrooms in our schools are still pit latrines. You will end up with percolation of water from the toilet to the main supply of water, either on the stream or the broken pipes."
