    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me time to rise and oppose this Motion. I oppose this Motion because our primary schools have a lot of problems, and the issue of bursars is not an issue when it comes to the other major problems affecting our schools. We need to talk about lack of teachers. We need to employ teachers instead of employing bursars. We also need to get the infrastructure in place to support the learning of our children. We also need to have subordinate staff instead of bursars to support the learning of our children in schools. Transportation is also an issue. Instead of bursars, we need to look for ways of getting transport to our children in primary schools. When we talk of bursars, we also need to look at the number of primary schools. Our primary schools are so many. If we can employ bursars, the wage bill will rise, which will bring problems to the economy of the country. So employing bursars is not an issue as per now because the money allocated to our schools is not a huge amount of money. It is little money. When we employ bursars, what will they be doing? This money normally comes once a year. The rest of the months the bursar will just be seated there and earning a salary. Sometimes the money delays for a year. What will be the work of the bursars in schools? The way this money is being channeled--- If this money was given monthly we can talk about bursars. But the money comes once. In some schools it is Kshs20,000 or Kshs100,000. What will this do apart from paying the salary of the bursar? So, I oppose the issue of bursars in our schools. It will bring a lot of corruption in our schools because the bursar will also be trying to add a number of pupils so that he can have a job.
