    "content": "staffing needs in all our schools. Most of the JSS schools have teachers teaching subjects they did not train in, in college. For example, you find a teacher teaching chemistry or biology and yet, they trained in literature or English. That lowers the quality of education in JSS. I strongly support that we should come up with a policy to systematically and strategically support JSS through proper funding of JSS. Finally, this Parliament passed a Budget that increased the amount of funding for JSS from Ksh15 billion to Ksh25 billion. That is an increase of a whooping Ksh10 billion. It is a good thing that we must commend. However, we need a policy by the Ministry of Education and TSC to properly guide how that funding will be implemented in schools. This will help us to balance between staffing and infrastructure needs. We should also look at primary schools that do not host JSS. We are basically killing such primary schools that are now up to Grade 6. I beg to support this useful Motion and congratulate Hon. Ruku for bringing it to this Assembly. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
