    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. While appreciating the efforts the Ministry of Education is doing in ensuring that education is improved in our country and that as many children as possible get an opportunity to get education, there are few issues which I feel the Ministry needs to look at very seriously. Mr. Speaker, Sir, when we talk about free primary education and we offer the same to children in Nairobi, Nyanza, Western and Rift Valley provinces, they are able to eat, wake up in the morning and go to school. What about the children in Turkana? The children in Turkana, first and foremost, do not have food. The children in dry areas experience a lot of problems in going to school. The Minister has talked about equity being one of the three pillars of education. If that is the case, then the first thing the Minister for Education needs to look at is how do we enable every single child to access free education? I think the Ministry needs to look into that issue very seriously. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the other thing that I think the Ministry needs to look at is the issue of teachers. Teachers in this country over a long period have been agitating for higher salaries and rightfully so. We have had incidences where teachers are being told that all they can do is to drink"
