    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to request a statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on Education on the status of staffing in schools specifically in Lokirian Primary School in Turkana County. In the statement, the chairperson should:- (1) Explain why Lokirian Primary School in Turkana County has a severe shortage of teachers to the extent that police officers who are deployed to enhance security have volunteered to take on the role of teaching. (2) State the specific steps that the national and county governments have taken to remedy the situation since the problem of under-staffing in public schools in marginalized areas has always been there. (3) Explain if it is fair for such disadvantaged students to take the same national examinations with privileged students in well equipped schools. (4) State if the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and the Ministry of Education are aware of this problems and the measures taken to improve teachers staffing in such institutions. Thank you, Mr. Speaker sir."
