"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to ride on the same Statement that Sen. Munyes has sought, but to further state that Turkana County has a shortage of not less than 2,000 primary school teachers. This is similar to West Pokot County. We have a staggering shortage of not less than 2,000 teachers. Worst of all, these are the schools that are around the border of the two counties where you have one teacher teaching class one to class eight. No wonder we have this occasional cattle rustling because of lack of teachers in schools. Could the Chairman bring a list of the schools along the border point of the two counties all the way to Samburu so that we understand this massive shortage that we are talking about in our counties? Could he give us the steps that are being taken to address this issue? Having seen the television clip that was shown of some askaris teaching children in class, they have quickly claimed that they have sent some teachers. What about those schools that were not shown on television? Can we take the television crew to all those schools that are lacking teachers so that the situation can be seen? I hope that is not what they are after, but we want to make sure that the schools are fully staffed."
