    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I appreciate and promise to take the shortest time possible. I stand to support the Motion. I have glanced on how JSS is being conducted in Mukurweini. I have noted that out of the 66 public schools that exist in Mukurweini, 18 schools are not being funded for JSS. That makes me worried. I understand that schools that have JSS programme receive substantial amount of money in excess of the normal capitation. In essence, that means all primary schools that do not have JSS programme do not receive the extra capitation. Primary schools such as Wanjithi, Matuto, Mukui, Wacee, Kiirungi, Gaciriro, Ningaini, Kiawaita, Matiraini, Mutwewathi, Wangera, Nguura, Mwati, Ititu, Gakira, Wahari, Wanguru and Gakima do not have JSS. I strongly support the Motion so that we can come up with a better arrangement on how to fund the existing primary schools that do not have JSS. This will ensure that students do not travel long distances to access basic education. For example, parents from schools like Wanjithi have come to my office complaining that their children walk long distances to access education. I appreciate that the staffing levels are being enhanced. Today, I have seen a job advertisement in the newspapers for about 20,000 positions for JSS teachers. I encourage our people to apply for those job opportunities. However, we still have a challenge. The 20,000 teachers will be added to what we already have. I am not sure if that number will satisfy the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
