    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we just saw an allocation of Kshs17 billion for purchasing laptops. If you look at this Motion and you compare it with the desire to have laptops for primary school kids, you will see clearly that we have a lopsided priority list. If we have places where people still do not have boarding schools to cater for girls and somebody wants to appropriate Kshs17 billion for laptops, what is more important? With the Kshs17 billion we can build 100 classrooms per constituency; this will help improve schools’ infrastructure tremendously. So, as this House begins discussing the Finance Bill, I would like to see a House which is more in touch with these realities and reallocate that money to either deal with school infrastructure, motivate teachers or employ 64,000 more teachers. We should not appropriate Kshs17 billion to any other purpose. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support this Motion because education is key to development. Education has the first priority and as a national Government our core"
