    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker and Members. The Kenya Medical Training College has put in place measures to ensure there is uninterrupted learning in all the campuses in the country. Thanks to this honourable House, in the Budget Estimates for the Financial Year 2023/24, the college was allocated Ksh804 million to address the staffing shortage. Following this allocation, the college has begun the recruitment process. Currently, the college contracts part-time lecturers to bridge the shortfall. On this, we are clear that we should bridge it after we have finished with the current recruitment that is ongoing. Before this is finalised, we also work and collaborate with county governments who second staff to the colleges in many discipline areas to support learning of students. Moreover, the college has an e-learning platform where lecturers across campuses share teaching and learning materials. However, the college requires additional 483 lecturers for the new 13 completed campuses and eight satellites at a cost of Ksh985 million. That we shall be bringing in our supplementary budget. I submit, Hon. Temporary Speaker and Hon. Members."
