    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is no new district in this country where recruitment exercise was carried out. The reason is that the infrastructure is not in place. The District Education Officers and Quality Assurance Officers are not in place. This applies to the all the new districts in the country. Kianjai which the hon. Member referred to happens to be in my constituency. The understaffing in Kianjai is 22 teachers. That is not the problem. When we recruit, it is clearly stated that teachers would be sent to areas like Lare Division where he needs more teachers. Kianjai will get only 22 teachers or fewer. The issue is about deployment more than recruitment. I would like to say this because I think we need to be very careful about discriminating against Kenyans when it comes to employment. The TSC and the Government have clearly stated that there should be no discrimination in recruitment. However, we must be sensitive to areas that need more staff members and that is what we will do. That is the issue here."
