    "content": "As Members of Parliament, we give money from the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) to these schools, but at some stage it becomes very difficult for the head teachers to manage it. If they have to build classrooms and other facilities which are required in those schools, they cannot manage to teach and manage finances of their primary schools. So, it is timely and important to have bursars in our primary schools. I say so because it is manageable. As much as I agree that each school cannot get a bursar, we can go for the easy way of controlling the budget by having each sub-location with a maximum of ten schools having a bursar. They can be employed by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology to manage the funds that go to our primary schools. The Cabinet Secretary (CS) Education, Science and Technology has done a very good job. I have heard Kenyans from all corners of the country congratulating him and his officials on the way they have conducted the national examinations for this year. If all the CSs could follow his example, we could move very far. We do not know what some CSs do. The CS Matiang’i has done a commendable job. We know that some primary schools especially in rural areas are understaffed and I ask him to balance the staffing of teachers. You find that schools in urban centres are overstaffed whereas if you go to primary schools in rural areas, you find that some primary school have three or five teachers. It becomes very difficult for our children to get quality education because the teachers cannot teach as required."
