    "content": "This thing about CBC is something that this House needs to make a serious recommendation on, and stand firm over it. It is becoming something that is very expensive. Majority of Members of this House happen to represent constituencies from remote areas and different places. The way our country is set up is in such a way that most of the constituencies are from the rural areas. However, the formation and structure of CBC focuses on and targets the rich and the people who live within the urban set up. I think that for some reason, somebody wanted to rush this CBC thing for the reason that befitted them then. It is, therefore, important for the Government to realise that this was not part of the plan. By the way, this was not part of the Kenyan plan, and it was not part of the Manifesto of Kenya Kwanza. This was a set-up and a hub for someone to make money in the previous administration. Therefore, there is need for us to review that. It is very important for the Departmental Committee on Education to realise that because parents, especially those in the villages, are struggling. You all represent constituents, and every day students are sent home for something. Nowadays, some rogue teachers – and I say this with a lot of respect – do not sit in the staffroom. They decide that the afternoon lesson is to learn how to cook chicken. They decide that all the students should go home and come with chicken so that they can practice. They then ask: “What is the teacher doing? The teacher is cooking chicken!”. The children reply: “What is the teacher doing? The teacher is eating chicken”."
