"content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to support this Motion calling upon the Government to take the matter at hand very seriously. This is a very important time in the calendar of education in Kenya where we are now preparing children for mocks both in primary schools and secondary schools. At the end of this year, examinations are going to start. They are just barely three months ahead of us. Any nation that does not take teaching very seriously is a nation planning to fail badly. For example, in education, the teacher is the pillar. Just like the Bible says: The stone that the builders rejected became the cornerstone for the house. If we must get things right in Kenya, our teaching force needs to be remunerated properly and at the same time, we must also employ new ones to fill the gap that exists. I support this Motion and say that as early as tomorrow, if possible, the Government should sit down with the teaching force and the Kshs350 million I heard Cabinet Kazungu Kambi saying that they will build a polytechnic per constituency which translates to Kshs101.5 billion, is quickly transferred to the Teachers Service Commission before we do any building if he has that money. Thank you."
