    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me the chance to also air my views. Those of us from counties such as Wajir, Turkana and others up there in the north, or what we call marginalized counties have to think about what this Petition means. It is not that chess is bad; it is good. For those of us who have played chess, it is very exciting, intensive and it has got the ability to develop your mind, but let us be realistic as Sen. (Dr.) Ali has said. If you are living in a situation where there are not enough teachers even to teach English, Kiswahili and other basic subjects, where will you get somebody teaching chess? Madam Deputy Speaker, we are saying that there must be enough teachers in schools to begin with. After all that is covered, then we can have chess as an extra- curricular kind of subject or something that can be done outside class on clubs or by somebody who is interested. In other words, really chess should be there."
