"content": "There is a proposed allocation of Ksh4.8 billion to employ 20,000 intern teachers. I see two problems with that. First, some interns were already recruited and there has been no provision to employ them on permanent and pensionable terms. We do not know what will happen to them. The 20,000 interns who are being recruited with the Ksh4.8 billion will earn about Ksh20,000 per month, which is very paltry. Even Members pay their chefs and cooks a lot more than that. Those interns are graduates and they are supposed to mentor the future generations. How do we expect to get quality education? They say that when you pay peanuts, expect monkeys. How can we get quality education if we cannot properly pay our teachers? You keep somebody as an intern for a whole year and pay them Ksh20,000 per month and yet, there is no assurance that they will get jobs at the end of the year. Those are some of the things that we need to address."
