    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity to also speak to this Motion. At the outset, I think every successful country must have its priorities right. The idea of having bursars in school is an idea whose time has not come, in my view. There are many ways we can achieve this bursar’s function without having to employ a bursar when we need more teachers in schools and other basic things. I was in a school in my constituency where they do not even have chalk, the infrastructure is completely deplorable. You cannot then imagine of employing a bursar there when they do not have Government teachers. It is a good idea whose timing is wrong. In place of that, I propose that we train some of the teachers in schools. One can double up as a teacher and a bursar at the same time. After all, the money they receive is so little. If you want to know that the success of education is also a function of a manager, look at what Hon. Matiang’i has been able to achieve. The Bible says people perish for not choosing God-fearing leaders. When we have a good leader who is God- fearing like Matiang’i and many other Christians like me, we make a country a better place to live in. The corruption in the country is a lot. We need to pray about it and work so hard to ensure that we eliminate it. That way, we are going to achieve a lot more."
