    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we all know that education is key to everyone all over the world. About this Motion by Hon. Lusweti, I want to congratulate him for having brought it. The Government has spent a lot of money on education. I want to congratulate CS Matiang’i. He has done a lot in trying to bring back the glory of this nation in terms of discipline in exams. There was a lot of theft. We want to thank him for that. Again, I want to support the Government of Kenya for stopping new registration of schools because most schools in this country lack teachers. That is one way by which they will employ teachers for the schools that are there. Later on, after filling up the gap of the teachers who are lacking in most schools, they will allow registration, which is very good. It is true that there has been a problem with the money for FPE. The money has not been spent properly as many of my colleagues have said. My problem is that it is good Hon. Lusweti has brought this Motion, and we want him to even bring a Bill on this later, but if we can allow every primary school to employ a bursar, the wage bill is going to increase, obviously. I propose, and many Members should think along the same lines, that bursars be employed at the divisional or zonal level. We cannot say that we employ bursars in every primary school. The money they are given is not a lot compared to that of secondary schools and already the secondary schools have bursars. I agree that even bursars in secondary schools have been stealing money. They have been mismanaging money in many schools. The Government allocates every pupil in primary schools about Kshs1,000 and about Kshs13,000 to every student in secondary schools. So, if the primary schools employ bursars at the divisional or zonal level, that can work."
