    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. If we address the number of schools per constituency and the population, we will be able to find what is happening in Kiharu, Molo, and many other constituencies. I have sat with some of my colleagues in other constituencies. Mine is not too big, but not too small either. I have over 100 primary and secondary schools. Hon. Zachary Thuku of Kinangop tells me he has 150 schools. So, how is he supposed to distribute the same money to 150 schools when Hon. TJ. Kajwang’, my friend here, has only five? So, you must address the issue of population and the number of projects in schools. Lastly, on the issue of Office of Leader of Opposition, I would urge this House to address it soberly in this context: this office is not being created for Hon. Raila Odinga. Hon. Raila Odinga is very lucky that he is one of the few politicians who can turn up anywhere and a lot of people turn up to listen to him. When he is raising Kenyan issues, Kenyans get to hear. But what if we do not have that? I am looking forward to having an Opposition so that when the President is naming his Cabinet, the Leader of Opposition is also naming his Shadow Cabinet and when the Minister for Finance is reading the Budget, the Opposition Minister is also reading his. It is so that Kenyans can compare who among them will make a better leader. The only way to do so is to allocate resources to that important office. That is democracy. We must achieve our destiny as a country. Thank you."
