    "content": "I want to say something about the Teachers Service Commission (TSC). They have been given Kshs4 billion. This Kshs4 billion is to employ new teachers. We have a big shortage of teachers in this country. In our constituencies, through the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF), we have managed to come up with many secondary schools. We do not want our children to walk long distances to go to school. However, there are no teachers in these schools. So, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) must move with speed and employ teachers for these schools. We do not want to have the issue of tribalism and nepotism in employment. It should be done on the basis of first-in first-out. When you leave university, if you have done a Bachelors Degree in Education, you need to register with the TSC. They must follow merit. The people who graduated ahead should be employed first and not those who have just graduated because they maybe from Jubilee or from certain tribes. That should not be the case. We must allow equity to prevail so that teachers can be employed with speed and this challenge is addressed."
