    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am very right. What he is doing is private initiative. We are asking for Government resources to finance these public institutions. I am not saying that he is privately financing his schools. That is his private work. We are talking about public institutions. We are saying that public institutions are facing a crisis. I have given an example of the pastoralist communities who have lost their livelihood to the drought and are not able to finance anything. It is even difficult for them to get school uniform. I urge the Government to waive the requirement of school uniform from the pastoralist communities of this country. We have put up very beautiful structures, but they are not being used. That is wastage of Government resources. I went through school and learnt under a tree. I had an untrained teacher who taught me under a tree. I am what I am today because he was able to teach me “A”,“B”,“C”,“D”. We have infrastructure today in the form of beautiful schools and desks. We have children, but we do not have teachers. You will find schools operating with only two teachers and yet that is wrong. It is immoral to have institutions in place and yet you cannot facilitate them in terms of teachers. These children are our resources."
