    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to appeal to the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance that one of the items that is featured strongly in the Budget is the inclusion of the intern teachers. Therefore, we needed an upward budget of Kshs1.9 billion. Realizing the shortfall in revenue collection and that we may not have to meet these obligations, I want to use the Floor of the House to assure teachers that whereas we had some promises made to them, this will not be completed within this financial year. This will have to go to the next financial year because that particular sum of money had not been provided for in the Printed Estimates except a line indicating that there will be funding for the intern teachers. Therefore, I want to plead with the teachers that, come July/August, it is our expectation through the Ministry of Finance that we will have this particular aspect of it captured in the Budget provisions. In addition to, of course, the normal employment quota that is required in order to reduce the teacher deficit from the current 48,000 to a manageable level of below 32,000 teachers. In the next three to four years and with the provisions in the Budget, we should level out the teacher recruitment to an acceptable level so that they are all in balance."
