The Assistant Minister is fully aware that those days when I used to go to school, teachers were trained at Kenyatta University (KU) for three years for a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science Degree. The rest of us went to other universities and even to KU, and attained a bachelors degree in three years. But by the time teachers and other professionals are employed in the Government service, they will be employed at a lower job group than the other professionals. This is the issue. When will the Assistant Minister harmonise salaries for all the professionals in Government service, and particularly teachers?"}
