    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to join my colleagues who have already lauded the Minister for Finance for presenting the Printed Estimates for the year 2007/2008. The Minister allocated a lot of money to the Ministry of Education, Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security and Ministry of State for Defence. This money has been allocated to give services to Kenyans. Looking at the Ministry of Education, a lot of money has been allocated under the Recurrent Expenditure; about Kshs96 billion. But my concern, as the representative of the people of Mt. Elgon, is that this money might be of no use to the people of Mt. Elgon, specifically, in 30 primary schools and four secondary schools. The reason is that these schools were closed down in June, 2006, because of the insecurity which has persisted in that region. However, the Government has not been able to contain that insecurity. As I speak, those schools have not been re-opened and, therefore, pupils and students are not in school. The teachers in those schools are earning salary. My question is: Why are they earning salary when they are not teaching?"
