    "content": "He also touched on education. In as much as we now have a taskforce to look at the CBC, which has become the talk of every homestead, in social media, we have all stories about what is happening in schools, which I do not think some scenarios are true; like a situation where it was said that teachers were telling children to bring chicken. Already, there are people working on the future of CBC. I would also encourage that we look further, not just at primary education, but that we also go further and deal with education in totality. We have our Kenyan institutions of higher learning which are grappling with debt. When institutions of higher learning are having issues, and that is where international ranking is done, then it becomes problematic. When we have no credibility in our institutions of higher learning, then education in Kenya will be questionable. When the education of a country is questioned by the world, it will not be in very good taste. I also agree with the President that this is the time to implement the UHC. In Moiben, our hospitals have huge bills and so many patients who have been held in hospitals. We have bodies in mortuaries. People cannot bury their loved ones because they cannot afford. The poverty index is so high. With the promise and agenda that the President has set, we just need to support him as legislators. He promised that his administration will be fair, and he hopes that he will not legislate issues which could be bottlenecks to this very great agenda. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for the opportunity. Let me also use the chance to again thank the people of Moiben. Thank you very much."
