"content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, allow me to support the Motion by Hon. Wamuchomba as regards school uniforms. As we debate this, we have schools that are here. So, we are able to see exactly what uniforms do. Their importance cannot be overemphasised. It is important that we maintain what was started those days, when formal education was introduced into the country. They used to wear shirts only and vests in form of uniform. Where we have rural schools which are in poor places and have poor parents, school uniforms maybe tattered all the time. They give a sense of belonging to all students. You become proud. You associate yourself with your school. Whenever it is, even if it is a competition, you do the best because you know your school’s reputation is at stake. Even when you are out there, in terms of discipline, you have to ensure you are well disciplined. If you misbehave, your school will be put into disrepute."
