    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the nomination of Prof. Magoha to be appointed Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Education. All his good attributes have been stated, but I want to remind him that his job at the Ministry is well cut. There is the new education curriculum that is wanting. We are not sure what will be happening. The textbook policy is a challenge in the Ministry now. Schools are now being flooded with books, including books they do not need. The National Education Management Information System (NEMIS) is wanting while at the same time luck of birth certificates, which are issued by the Government is hindering some students from registering for national examinations. The 100 per cent transition from primary to secondary school policy, which has been adopted by the Government, has left many schools without infrastructure. At the same time, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) does not have enough teachers. Prof. Magoha should be aware that the idea of cost-sharing is back in our schools because most of the teachers are now being paid by school boards of management. De- localisation is also a serious threat in the education sector."
