    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, first, I want to thank the Mover of the Motion. This is a Motion that seeks to unlock the challenges that we are facing in the education sector in the north eastern part of Kenya. It is a Motion that is very emotional and we should not play around with it. It is not easy for us to convince our brothers and sisters from other regions to go back to north eastern and continue working because of fear. If we give them the strength through this Motion by recruiting untrained teachers, students in north eastern will sit for their mock examinations like any other student in this country. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we also need to look at the issue of extremism. It does not just affect the youth who come from north eastern, but this is happening all over. This is a problem which is affecting the youth and we must address it. When the teachers wanted to go back, the KNUT came out very strongly and told them not to go back unless their security was assured. We forgot that even in Mandera, we had challenges, but we still have our brothers from other regions working there. The moment the KNUT started that campaign, all teachers left. They left because they thought that the more Sossion campaigned, the more they will be given the money and yet this was a big lie. This is an issue that the Senate must address. If possible the Committee on Education should summon Sossion and ask him a few of these questions."
