    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. I applaud the President for his Address to this House. For once, he has proved continuously that he believes in this Constitution and walks it. I want to talk about just three issues. The first one is education. The gentleman, Mr. Peter Tabichi, the best teacher in the world, has demonstrated that Kenya is up there on top of the world in terms of education. However, critically, if you look at our education sector, you will find that it is ailing. There are wrangles that are continuously being experienced among the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) and the Ministry of Education. This is affecting very many things including the introduction of the new curriculum, student mass failures in examinations, cheating in exams, delocalisation of teachers and teachers’ welfare. Those of us who come from marginal areas and communities are actually affected by instability in the education sector. TSC directors are posted there. Without knowing, in two or three months, they are removed. Education is not getting the traction that is required. Therefore, we really call upon the new CS for Education to put his feet down to make sure that education is on course in all parts of this country. In particular, I am looking at the TTIs. At the beginning of the 11th Parliament, many constituencies received funds to build TTIs. Many have not been completed. Some may end up becoming white elephant projects.
