    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for protecting me. The TSC has a lot of say in how much teachers are paid. However, we also know that this Parliament appropriates budgets. It is upon us to allocate them adequate money. Everybody has been through school. Our children go to school. Teachers are very important. Let us try and make sure that we have a big budget for education so that teachers are paid well. Without good pay, there will always be problems. It is Dr. Nzomo who can effectively do this because she has risen from low ranks to the highest position in TSC. She knows what should be done. It is not good to bring someone who has no experience to TSC. It is good when you work with people who have experience. Affordability of education in this country is a very big problem. Free education has been provided in primary schools. However, in secondary schools, most of the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) money goes to paying school fees through bursaries. Let us also try to make secondary school education free so that all children from poor families can access education because the question of affordability is great. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to conclude by saying that if you can see and read the mood of the House, we need to shorten this debate so that Nzomo gets in. Thank you very much."
