    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On the issue of floods and school reopening, I am aware that at least 70 schools have yet to be opened because of security and flood reasons. The President said that Kshs1 billion has been allocated to rehabilitate these schools through the National Government -Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF). I request that the Ministry of Education to fast-track the issue of capitation in schools. The public health sanitation officers should be on high alert. Let public health sanitation officers visit the schools. Some of the toilets and classrooms in these schools are not habitable to human beings. The public health sanitation officers should check on the negative effects of the floods across the country. We should not reopen schools as a ritual, but when they are ready. In Baringo County, we have insecurity challenges. Most of the schools in the county have lost their infrastructure. The capitation funds should be released to these schools. Junior Secondary School (JSS) intern teachers demonstrated in town yesterday because the Government has committed to hiring 23,000 teachers out of the 46,000 interns. I ask the JSS interns to be patient as the Government is seized of the matter. We will hire 23,000 teachers in the first batch. I saw the contempt with which the National Assembly treated the Division of Revenue Bill. They were proposing Kshs415 billion to counties. They should have given more money to hire the entire 46,000 teachers under the JSS programme. The Senate shall not be cowed or intimidated by the National Assembly."
