    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. In answering the question of the teachers being able to teach only one or two subjects, I indicated that more teachers are retooled to ensure that they teach more than two subjects. However, the focus again on the 20,000 teachers that will be recruited as interns will be towards the science-based subjects, so that we can further reduce that gap. Something is being done to ensure that we reduce the gap as much as possible through retooling, retraining and the extra recruitment that is taking place. In terms of the question relating to where the JSS is anchored, it is anchored in the Sessional Paper that is yet to be brought to Parliament. It was anchored out of the Presidential Working Party. We have come up with the necessary Cabinet Paper, which will birth the Sessional Paper. In terms of the remuneration of the interns to increase from the Kshs16,000 or Kshs17,000 that they were getting, it is anchored in the general Government Internship Policy. As I indicated, it is based on the available budget and resources. That is why the last two years we had 46,000 interns, but this coming year, we will be having 20,000 interns. It is because of the limitation of resources that we are not able to employ or take on board as many interns as possible.
