Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Indeed, a challenge that we have on the ground is that a number of schools can even run up to Form IV without teachers. You find a school having one teacher. It also looks weird when we have teachers who trained in 2008 and to date, they have not been employed. I request the TSC to look critically at this issue and handle it well so that they do not kill the morale of the unemployed teachers. Thank you.

that are mandated to allocate revenue. What we have here in the National Assembly is a matter of following the procedures that are laid down and making sure that the relevant State Departments get their allocations.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I echo the sentiments that have been made by my colleagues on this issue of health. You can bear with me, having been a member of the county assembly and you being the speaker by that time a county assembly… You know the budget that is always given to counties is very small to the extent that even planning for a number of things pertaining to health is an issue.
