Omboko Milemba","speaker":null,"content":" Thank you very much for that indulgence. Hon. Members, I will not necessarily speak just like a unionist but appeal to parliamentarians. The main reason teachers, not only in secondary schools but also in primary schools stagnate, is also due to allocations by Parliament. We now have a Supplementary Budget coming. In this financial year, promotions were only allocated Ksh2 billion and only Ksh1 billion was given in the main Budget. We were promised. I am happy the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research is here. I wish the Chair, Bwana Melly, could listen to this. We were only given Ksh1 billion for promotion and 1 billion remained yet even the Ksh2 billion can promote very few teachers. Ksh1 billion will promote 5,000 teachers only."}
