    "content": "we are able to realize the fruits of the same. Therefore, there is need to ensure that more money is given to the Ministry in order to take care of the employment of teachers in this field. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, our students are talking of adopting the Information, Communications and Technology (ICT). It is so unfortunate that it is only in our academies that we have students learning computers while in our public primary schools we are yet to implement this very important endeavor. It is important that an allocation is made so that every primary school in this country is connected with electricity in order for them to embrace the same. It is unfortunate to note that most of the teachers in our academies have never gone through any professional course, yet, they are able to produce the best results. The Ministry of Education has a department that deals with quality assurance and that is what we want. We want the department to be restructured to ensure that our teachers are actually teaching. They should be motivated to do their work. Motivation means that when one does well, he or she is commended for the good work done. We are in a situation whereby many teachers do very well and the Ministry is quiet. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as a country, the time has come for us to seriously focus on our public primary and secondary schools and inject more resources in them so that we are able to move forward. I would like to applaud the Minister for Finance for setting aside Kshs30 million per constituency to ensure that we have one quality school in every constituency in this country. That is a wonderful move but one is not enough. We want many more of such. I would also like to applaud him for setting aside Kshs7 million to upgrade and improve two primary schools per constituency. This is a wonderful move. We want to see more money being injected in education if we really mean well. As leaders we want to ensure that Vision 2030 is fully realized not after 2030 but by 2030. That can only happen if we fully address the issues of education. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
