    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I am sure hon. Members know that more than half of their constituents, wherever they are, do not take breakfast every morning. That is what we should be addressing instead of setting up boards, commissions and so forth. We need to address the poverty problem by making the economy grow and thus, creating more wealth. Equitable sharing of resources should be embraced so that people can educate their children as education is very important. Hon. Speaker, some districts like mine were ranked over 40 overall, but we are struggling to be number one in the country in the national examinations. We know the importance of education, but we lack teachers. If you go to some rural constituencies like mine, you will find a school of eight classrooms; that is Standard One to Eight with only two teachers. But when you go to other schools, in some constituencies near Nairobi, you will find that they are overstaffed. In fact, there is a school with eight classrooms, from Standard One to Eight, with over 20 teachers. How can we compare or compete fairly? We cannot because of unfair distribution of teachers."
