"content": "These are books which have been developed by curriculum developers from the Meru Community. That tells you that there is a lot being done. They told me that it is not easy to teach in the lingua franca of the region. There is a language that can be used as a medium of instruction. For example, in Kisii, they can use that as a medium of instruction but not as language. To have that language taught in all the 17 public colleges, we will need to train teachers and this is not easy. When you get those teachers posted, they must be posted to areas where they come from so that they can continue teaching, which is also not possible in the country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, budgetary allocation has also become very difficult because they require more than Kshs2 billion to have this scheme and the money is not forthcoming. The little they have, they are using it to develop vernacular books not as a medium of instruction but for reference. Otherwise, it is a very difficult exercise but it can still be implemented at the cost of another department. The Ministry is trying to abide by the Constitution but times are hard. SLOW ONGOING CONSTRUCTION OF THE KISUMU-KAKAMEGA ROAD"
