Paul Biego","speaker":null,"content":" Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to the Supplementary Budget. I support the Report of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I have made some notes and I am wondering how much we have also lost in the process. I congratulate the Committee for maintaining some very important projects. I commend them on the issue of intern teachers. As a Government, we had given an undertaking that we are going to take in the 46,000 intern teachers and the 20,000 new ones. I support this Report because we have managed to get, at least, Ksh17.9 billion to employ the intern teachers."}
