    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. There is another half-truth that was spoken on the Floor of the House; that, in fact, 56,000 new teachers had been employed this year alone. Now, the problem there is that, on the face of it, it appears like the Head of State knows what he is talking about. However, the data from the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) itself indicates that up to 80 per cent of that 56,000 teachers were hired on short-term contracts and only 20 per cent of those were permanently employed. That is something you need to say to the nation, so that we know the true state of affairs when it comes to the hiring of our teachers. Mr. Speaker, Sir, he also announced that in June of this year, his administration would employ 103 Community Health Promoters (CHPs). We saw him flagging of distribution of 100,000 kits to be used by those people. The fact of the matter is, that is not true. In fact, counties are supposed to identify the people to be recruited as CHPs and that progress is ongoing. You cannot claim something has happened, yet it has not happened, just to massage the numbers and appear like your Government is working.
