Member for reminding me that. I missed it in my notes. Another area is the low cost housing project of Kshs350 million. This is a good venture and I hope that it will trickle down to smaller towns like Voi, Malindi and others, instead of only focusing on major cities like Nairobi. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was also impressed that Kshs1.6 billion was allocated for the recruitment of teachers. As you know, there is a huge shortage of teachers to the tune of 50,000 teachers. Coast Province is leading in shortage of teachers. It has a shortage of about 8,000 teachers. I hope that this recruitment will be region-based so that every region gets its quota."}
