    "content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, I rise to support the Statement and also wish to speak on behalf of the KNUT branches in my county, from Suba to Homa Bay to Rachuonyo. They have clearly told me as their Senator to reject this imposition of ideas coming from the Ministry of Education. Unfortunately, the policies in the Ministry of Education seem to be rammed down the throats of Kenyans. It was just the other day when the CBC was introduced. The then Cabinet Secretary came before the Senate Committee on Education and said that the country was not ready. Now, one month later, we have found the same policy being implemented and forced on the children of Kenya. The teachers of Homa Bay are saying that as long as the institutions are going to be in Nairobi, they will say no. Why do we want to bring everything to Nairobi and why these universities? This is a sign of chronic capitalism and that is why public universities are broke. They are collapsing because the Government is taking money to private universities; money that could have been used to show up the finances of public universities. As long as the Cabinet Secretary is telling people to go to hell when they question the CBC, the teachers of Homa Bay are rejecting this policy. As long as those teachers who went to universities and did degree programmes expecting promotions remain unpromoted, the teachers of Homa Bay are saying “No” to these dictatorial tendencies from the Ministry of Education. Finally, I want to urge that when the Cabinet Secretary for Education comes before the House, let him come to the Committee of the Whole because he also has a reputation of ignoring the House, just like the Cabinet Secretaries that we censured last week."
