    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to support this Motion by Hon. Sossion. I would like to state that as Hon. Sossion mentioned as he moved his Motion, education is the only equalizer and our children across this country from every corner are entitled as a matter of right to quality education. Therefore all our children from up north, down south and on the lake side deserve to have access to quality education. However quality is a factor of many contributors. As I speak, Seth and his wife Caroline Odada who were killed in Wajir hail from Kamuga, Kojwach in Homa Bay County, Kabondo Kasipul Constituency. On Sunday, I had an opportunity to visit that family. A mother was left with no child and no breadwinner. The girl had only married this gentleman in January. This lady happens to come from my home back in Kano. She is actually like my sister. Seth took his wife and went in search of daily bread. What has come back to us are two corpses. These are the realities. These are not just statistics, they are people. They are people who have families and must be looked at as well. Even as we look at the search for education… The reason I support this Motion is because it provides a solution to the problem that we are facing. We want our children to get quality education and the Chair of the Committee on Education and Research has said that we want teachers who are trained to provide education, but if I am a trained teacher and I am in an environment in which I feel insecure, I can tell you that I will not be able to deliver to the point that I am supposed to. The primary solution as was said by Hon. Chair of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research is to deploy as many local teachers as possible. We all want to be one big united nation. We are united but we cannot bury our heads in the sand to the fact that some of these terrorists are hell bent on dividing us along religious lines. Therefore, it is more likely for you to get targeted if you are of a different religion. We can therefore not bury our heads in the sand to that fact. The primary solution is to deploy as many local teachers as possible to the border areas where there are insecurity problems. If we run out of local teachers, this is where the solution that Hon. Sossion is proposing comes in. Can we look at who else we can deploy? Untrained The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
