    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this very important Motion. I thank the Member for Mbeere North, Hon. Ruku, for bringing this very important item for discussion in this House. The Constitution recognises education for all children as a basic right and the Government of Kenya is no exception and is mandated to provide free compulsory education to all students. Development of a policy and funding for JSS is a key component of this very important programme that the Government has embarked on. The competency-based curriculum is one that must succeed. It is very disheartening for us to go around schools only to realise that they are poorly equipped. I am so glad because I know at this point in time, the constituencies have got money from the NG-CDF. I know key in the agenda is going back to the constituencies to continue building classrooms and various infrastructure in schools. However, I want to acknowledge the fact that some of the schools that we are going to build are in a very deplorable condition and if the students who are transiting from primary school to JSS are to have their esteem, we must ensure that the classrooms are up to the standard of a JSS. Also, the laboratories should be well equipped. It is also important to note that the distance some children are covering as they go to and from school are quite long. I, therefore, want to implore upon the Ministry of Education to ensure that every school has a JSS class. Based on this, the classrooms cannot be without teachers. They are a key component and I want to disagree with the Member who said that the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
