    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to commend the Minister for, at least giving us the right figures which are different from what he brought here yesterday. I know very well that we have a problem of teachers all over the country. Whereas we have 493 CBEs in Migori Constituency, they are only 214 teachers employed by the TSC. This is hardly half of the number. That gives us 279 shortages. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have heard in the media that many of our students are now losing their lives for fear of failing examinations. How are the students of Migori going to be assured that they will pass in the coming examination when most of schools have one teacher or two teachers? Imagine a full Form Four class with only one teacher or two teachers! If he doubts me I have schools like Godonche Girls Secondary School with one teacher who is supposed to man four classes. We have Got Kachola with four classrooms, but manned by two teachers. We have Kitambaa, Malera Mixed, Mapera Mixed and Siling with similar problems. These are all single stream schools in Migori that have only one or two teachers. Mr. Speaker, Sir, even if you are a jack of all trades, how can one teacher, teach four classes and we expect our students to excel in their examinations?"
