    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. I want to congratulate Mr. Kioni for moving this Motion. It is timely. This is the time to implement this Motion. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the other day, I visited my former school and I found that the same bursar who was there over 20 years ago. I went ahead to try to know about the salary increment and such. To my surprise, since the time I left there, the increment was about Kshs1,000. To me, a school is like a conveyer belt whereby both the teaching staff and non- teaching staff are equally important. So, I felt that if we can support this Motion, we can have a scheme of service in place. As a member of the BoG, when a bursar retired, all that we could do was to give that lady a goat as her pension. I believe that if we can have a scheme of service in place for these staff, they will feel motivated. They will also run away from this idea of thinking that they must be very loyal to the head teacher to retain their jobs. I also believe that if we have such a scheme of service in place, the Government will be able to chip in. Every student is given about Kshs10,000 in secondary school and Kshs1,000 in primary school. So, my feeling is that if such a scheme is put in place, it can remove the burden from the head teachers and principals and non-teaching staff will be paid directly into their accounts. At the end of the day, they will enjoy their pension."
