    "content": "Thank you Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. The Chairman’s response is a gross understatement of the crisis that we have in learning institutions. I do not know whether the Chairperson lives in this country. To suggest that learning is going on in most institutions in this country, I think is to play on the intellect of the people of Kenya. The teachers are at home and there is no learning going on. If learning means having students play in school and sending security personnel to look after the children playing in the school, then I think we have people who are not in touch with reality. Could the Chairperson explain whether the Cabinet which constitutes the Government of Kenya has met as a matter of urgency to discuss this matter of the crisis of teachers, because that would have provided the Ministries an opportunity to determine how much each Ministry can release in terms of funds to address this emergency? Has there been any Cabinet meeting to discuss this crisis? With regard to schooling in north eastern Kenya, he says that it was agreed that 800 untrained people – they are not teachers – were to be recruited, could he clarify whether indeed those 800 that have been agreed upon more than a month ago have been recruited and are now in the classes teaching?"
