    "content": "Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion on the President’s Address to Parliament and the nation. I have been listening to some of my colleagues contribute here and I wonder whether they know that is happening in the education sector. We are all aware that the education sector in our country is struggling. There is frequent closure of universities, bungled examinations, failed curriculum review and the killing of the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT). The KNUT is not being regarded as a labour movement in this country. There is shortage of teachers not only in my constituency, but across the country. Many secondary schools have only a principal and no other teachers are deployed by the Government. The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology has consistently failed to provide support to schools in the country. This has led us to a situation where the education system in our country has generally gone down. These are the issues that I thought my colleagues would raise instead of saying that we have succeeded in providing laptops and ipads. If a Member is saying that we already have laptops and ipads in our schools, maybe we live in a different world. This is something which must be addressed honestly."
