    "content": "I will give an example of a Standard Eight pupil. He will need at least five books. The cost of five books will total to Kshs3,350. We, therefore, need to increase this amount urgently from the current figure to Kshs3,060 otherwise we will lose the gains made. The objectives of the FPE might be lost and the country will suffer. Currently, we have many schools performing very poorly. There are many schools and so the quantity is huge, but the quality is very poor. This is not the goal and objective of the FPE. The information levels have risen dramatically and no single item has remained at the same price since 2003. So, it is very unfair to give schools the same amount of money that was designed in 2003. The other thing is lack of teachers; this is really hampering us. In some schools which have classes up to Standard Eight, in my constituency there are only three teachers from the TSC. Even if books were not enough, but there are enough teachers, maybe, that would be complemented. However, the lack of text books is worsened by the lack of teachers. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to call upon the Members to support this Motion and ask the Government to fast-track the implementation of this. I would like to call upon hon. Yusuf Chanzu to second the Motion."
