    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I listened to my brother, Sen. Amos Wako talking about national schools. I beg to differ with him. In any case, if he wanted to apply that, he should have moved an amendment to this Motion to say that national schools should remain with the national Government. I want to say that national schools cannot stop being national schools simply because they are being funded by the county governments. Of course, they will remain national schools. They will admit students nationally but when it comes to development, their monies should be channeled through the counties where the national schools are located. Therefore, I would like to differ with him and insist that we pass this Motion the way it has been brought by Sen. Murkomen. We are encouraging that the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) remains with the national Government because we know that county governments are not very well established at this stage to start handling recruitment and payment of teachers. Maybe in future we will come up with an amendment to devolve the TSC to the county governments. This is a very important Motion. I want to urge my colleagues to fully support it and pass it quickly so that the Implementation Committee moves fast to ensure that we start the process of devolving the development of infrastructure in our primary and secondary schools. I fully support the Motion."
