    "content": "No, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. When you are not sitting on that seat, you are my neighbouring Senator. Let us not focus on Mr. Sossion and others. We need the Government’s assistance to address this problem. As I mentioned last time, we have Kshs2 billion to employ 5,000 teachers. This is just a drop in the sea whereas Kshs37 billion is wasted in the “Lower House” in the name of Constituencies Development Fund (CDF). This money can be utilized to employ 92,500 teachers which is the national shortfall. We should do away with this fund which is being wasted by people pretending to be building classrooms and we employ more teachers to take care of our children. Without losing focus, I support this Motion. Moving forward, we need a law compelling the Ministry to go further and engage the untrained teachers. Every holiday, the untrained teachers can be trained on how to teach. They have the concept: Do not be surprised that Standard Eight graduates can be very good teachers of Standard One, Two and Three, if they are taught how to teach. Similarly this can be done to Form Four graduates. We have enough of them in Garissa, Wajir, Mandera, Kitui and all the others. This Motion has come at an appropriate time. We want to see it being implemented next week. I beg to second."
