    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for North Eastern region, the biggest challenge has been the teachers who left for upcountry who until today have not been replaced. We have a serious problem and I think it is important that the Ministry – as the Chairman said, we should not be looking at usual releasing of results but we should look at transforming the lives of all Kenyans by looking at the performance in those areas that are consistently performing poorly in academics. It is important that the Ministry finds out what is going on in those counties. Why should they be at the bottom year in, year out? What do they lack? Is it the quality or number of teachers? It cannot be that the people in those counties are dumb or the students are retarded. Is there anything to do with the mental capability of the students? It has to do with management of education in those counties. It is time that the Ministry takes this matter seriously so that we do not continue performing poorly in those regions. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is not fair that you come and put them on the same table when announcing the results. You must compare an apple with an apple and an egg with an egg. You cannot compare two situations that are completely different; one where there are no schools, teachers, books and another that has all the learning facilities. So, I want to urge him to look at that issue. I take the opportunity to thank the Ministry for the good stewardship of the national examinations this year. Thank you."
