    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. You know, it is not the time; it is the period. I have served for two terms and this is my second term. Hon. Members, I am happy that, that money has been put in the Budget. From my personal experience, I got my second term because of CDF. I got the chance to come here because of how I used my CDF for two and half years as a Member of Parliament. Secondly, we are not against what happened, but we want the law to be followed. We are aware that money for roads has been reduced – especially on KERRA roads. There is no money, but we did not oppose that in this House. We know that it can be added in the next Budget. I am happy when His Excellency the President said that cargo from Mombasa to Malaba should take five days. That shows how serious he is. We Members of Parliament need to be serious and debate serious issues on how we can help this country. Hon. Speaker, Sir, teachers are not asking for new money. They are not asking for a new agreement. They are asking for the implementation of what they signed with the last two regimes. During the Moi regime, they signed an agreement. We had the Kibaki regime and we now have the Uhuru Kenyatta regime. I want to plead with hon. Members that during the campaigns, the President may have promised laptops. That was a campaign matter! Now, the reality is here. Time has come for us to work. The whole budget on laptops is in the Ministry of Education. We are not moving it to another Ministry. It should all be allocated to pay the teachers of this country, so that they can feel comfortable and happy to work. That is because we need development and education is the core key there. The concern of all hon. Members is the performance in our schools."
