    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is such a fundamental thing for the country and although you think there was no question, it is important that I tell you without fear that this country needs an additional 80,000 teachers. We only need to take the population of the children in school of 14.5 million and divide it by 40, and you will begin to realize that we face an enormous challenge. Right now, we are recruiting 11,000 teachers. I want to congratulate all the hon. Members in this House because we recommended that they be present during recruitment. There are a few complaints like in Bungoma District, but I will sort them out. I will continue fighting so that the rights of the child to free and compulsory basic education is not contaminated by the absence of teachers. That I will do. When the opportunity occurs during Supplementary Estimates or should the Government decide to come back here for further funding, please, support it because this is for the future of our children. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
