    "content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to support this Motion. I must congratulate the House for a job well done. We have managed to meet the deadline for most Constitution Bills. This is a well deserved recess. As we go back to our constituencies, we need to reconnect with our people so that we see what kind of development we can carry out with them, especially in areas where there is drought now. We need to meet people so that we can be with them through the season. As we go on recess, we would like to urge the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Finance to take serious the issue of teachers’ strike. As we go back to the constituencies, this matter must be dealt with. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, on the issue of teachers on contract, we said before that we do not want low-cost teachers. We need all teachers to be equal. We would like teachers to be employed on equal basis. Money must be found so that teachers can be employed to educate our children. This is a matter which we need to take seriously. I would like to thank the CDF Committee for bringing members of the Board for approval. This has been outstanding for a long time. Issues have been pending in the Board due to lack of members of the Board. I would like them to move with speed because there are key issues, especially in our constituencies, which require money for reallocation. As we know, there is a big drought. We are spending a lot of money to mitigate against the effects of drought which affected many people and livestock. I would like to thank the Minister also for bringing the allocation and assure him that the figures are not exaggerated. We wish him the best in this Ministry as we move forward. I would like to urge him to ensure that this money is disbursed quickly before the term of this Parliament is over to enable us implement the projects and finalize them. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
