    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member of Parliament who was even a Minister in the past Government is really misleading this House. We have improved education more than ever before in this country and we are giving all children an opportunity to learn, unlike in the past when a lot of children went without education. That created discrimination for some parts of our society. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is our intention to employ adequate teachers as soon as enough funds are collected in taxes and given to us. We have no problem with employing teachers. However, I think hon. Members must also know that funds are also required in other Ministries and I do not think we will get a lot of money to employ many teachers. Mr. Speaker, Sir, may I also bring to the notice of the hon. Member that the latest survey of 1776 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 4, 2006 United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) said that Kenyan teachers work the least hours in the whole world. That is why we are also investigating districts where head-teachers do not teach and overstaffing of teachers so that we can transfer them to areas where there is a shortage of teachers. So, it cannot be that there is such a big shortage as we are being made to understand. However, we accept the shortage is there and we are working on it."
