    "content": "You have to almost turn to a beggar when it comes to the issue of teachers. A whole MP has to go and beg the TSC to provide teachers especially for new schools. When a school is started, they just appoint a head-teacher and what follows is to register it as a secondary school. Can we not have a basic standard where a school is not considered to be fully established if it does not have a certain number of Teachers Service Commission (TSC) teachers, so that it is known that so many schools are not yet qualified to be a fully set up secondary or primary school? That way, distribution will be a crucial matter. But now, you will find that a school has one headmaster and 10 teachers employed from a certain village and it is considered a fully established primary or secondary school. I am, therefore, of the opinion that this is an emotive matter and if we do not solve it with finality, it will just be a talking shop. It requires that we do something that solves this problem with finality. If we are not ready to finalise it, so that action is taken, then there is no need to move on. We will then have another Motion. This particular one says that we need to audit and another one will talk about something else. We will end up having so many of these Motions. Let us try and sort out this matter once and for all. I would like to congratulate my friend and colleague who has, at least, helped us to start talking about this. However, let us move it to an actionable piece of legislation. I am sure that this House will pass it very quickly because it is painful. I speak for West Pokot County, but I know that in many urban areas the distribution is not the same. I am sure everybody in this place will talk about their own case. We need to change the way the Motion is drafted and move it, so that there is action. I would like to be part of whatever it is that needs to be done. I support."
