    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Because of time, I will be very brief. The issue of digitization and laptops cannot fail to arise when we are talking about teachers who need to be paid and looking for solutions and finding ways where we think there are resources that can be diverted to teachers who are very important in this society. There is no other society apart from the Kenyan society where there is such inconsistency in education. In no part of the world would you hear that students or children have not gone to school either at primary, secondary or university. This is something you only hear about in Kenya. It has stayed for too long without being addressed and it is a terrible culture. We see and hear teachers being discussed in open and derogative ways and yet these are responsible members of this society who are also socializing with our children. We are also bringing in the culture of strikes. What is going to happen to the future generation of Kenyan children who are used to knowing that unless you strike, you are not able to do anything and that an agreement that was made as far back as 1997 has not been honoured and yet not enough concerted effort is going into honouring it? We do not want to see the Atienos crying in this country. We also have to remember that the issue of social class indicates that there are certain children in private schools who continue to go to schools. Thank you."
