    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to start by appreciating the Budget of the Ministry of Education by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance. Kshs140 billion is not something small for us as a country. We note with appreciation as a Committee that this was up from the previous years by over Kshs14 billion. We would like to appreciate that particular gesture to the Ministry. Our main concern is on what the Ministry requested for vis-Ă -vis what they got. What the Ministry received was short by Kshs6 billion. So, if the Ministry is expected to implement each and every item that they wanted to implement this year then they should have been given an extra Kshs6 billion. That means, therefore, that there is need for re-organization to ensure that the Ministry still does achieve what was intended to be achieved. As a Committee, we looked at very many areas but we narrowed to one specific issue that must be addressed by the country. That is, the shortfall of the teaching staff. As a country we are being reminded, year in, year out, that we have a shortfall of 65,000 teachers. Taking the teachersâ sentiments sometimes back, if this issue is not addressed, then by the end of the coming year, we shall be talking of over 75,000. As a committee, we took this very seriously and when we interrogated the Budget Policy Statement, we did indicate that the Ministry should prioritize the employment of teachers this financial year. I want to appreciate the efforts put in place by the Minister for Education through a letter that was tabled before the Committee requesting Treasury to consider giving the Ministry more resources so that it could be able to employ teachers. In this Budget, that was not forthcoming. What was set aside - which as a Committee we feel is an embarrassment to the Ministry, after adding Kshs14 billion - is only Kshs2 billion for teachers."
