    "content": "I also want to praise the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance for availing funds. I think the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance did a good job to talk to the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) and the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to make sure that the stalemate that existed was solved. The issue of employing over 18,000 teachers is good news to Kenyans. I must praise the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance because this was a hot issue last year. Most districts will now benefit with over 60 teachers. I call upon the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance not to listen to some people who normally claim that some areas are benefitting disproportionately as opposed to others. The Ministry of Education has sent over 69 teachers to each and every constituency. I think this is fair. Other issues can be addressed. We should not use areas with larger populations to deny areas that are sparsely populated but with large land mass these teachers. We praise the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance on that aspect. There is also the issue of fast-tracking Vision-2030. On this, I think we are not on course. We need to achieve the short-term goals of Vision-2030. We need the construction of the Lamu Port to be on course. We also need the Standard Railway Gauge to be on course so that we can achieve the short-term goals of Vision-2030. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, with those few remarks, I beg to support this Motion."
