"content": "Chess is very good internationally. If you are good enough, you can become a grandmaster and be a multi-millionaire. Is that really what we are talking about? Is that what is supposed to be done in those areas? You can play any game you want. You can play football. When you go to those areas of ours, sometimes you see even elders playing with hooves and some stones. I do not know the real name; it is some sort of thing they do in Mombasa, but they do it on the ground. I am sure the Senator for Turkana County knows what the nomads do. Games are played in different ways. Our children play in different ways. However, when you talk of bringing chess to every school, I think that is being unrealistic. We have to be serious. Let us think of the books and teachers that these children need. We do not even have teachers in our schools since they disappeared sometime back. They are not there. You find an old school from Standard One to Standard Eight with two teachers. Form Four students are being taught by Board of Governors (BOG) teachers and yet now we are talking about chess being introduced through the CBC. Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker."
