Michuki asked for protection money to the tune of US$3 million. Artur Margaryan told hon. Michuki that he did not have that kind of money. Then hon.

• 18 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister is aware that there is a lot of acrimony as a result of the creation of the new districts.

I would like to urge the TSC to recruit more teachers on a permanent basis because of the increase in the number of schools being built and the expansion of the already existing schools. For example, statistics show that enrolment in all primary schools stand at 7.8 million per year against 5.9 million in 1984 when the 8-4-4 System of Education was introduced.
