    "content": "rider in Nakitumba Primary School? They cannot afford that amount. As Hon. Nyikal has said, this programme was started before the policy. I wish Hon. Ruku was there before CBC was put in place. I thank him very much for thinking ahead. Although it is late, we can change things for the betterment of our nation. This is the time to bring our heads together. Last week, I was at home and we were having secondary school games. There is confusion. Junior secondary school students could neither play in secondary school games nor compete in primary schools. They stand in between. If they play in primary school games, the primary school pupils mock them that they are supposed to be in secondary school. We must place the right things first. I was wondering but now that the matter has come here for redress, let us give it first priority. As I support this Motion, let us look at some schools that cannot manage junior secondary schools. The junior secondary school is expensive and the Government had not planned for it. It could have waited. The Government should, first, have looked for money. We have very good private schools which have the best laboratories and good libraries. They are getting undue advantage over the public schools. What are we going to do? If the junior secondary school students will be sitting for examination in Grade Nine, what are we putting in place so that those exams reflect a proper transition from junior secondary school to senior secondary school? If I were asked before, I would not have named it junior secondary school. I would have named it senior primary school. When it is senior primary school, teachers in primary schools would be comfortable to teach them. Teachers are given guidelines. The policy does not allow a primary school teacher to teach in a secondary school. As I speak, I am an alumnus of Sikusi Primary School. Teachers handling junior secondary schools are only two or one. They handle 18 subjects. What did we do? Hon. Ruku has brought this Motion so that we discuss this matter properly and iron out things that need attention. Should we move out this thing, let us move out together and do things properly. When I was looking for votes in Kabuchai Constituency, we said that the moment we took over, we would remove CBC because it was expensive and parents were not managing. Now even with more expensive life, we need the Government to totally take over the expense aspect so that some children do not miss classes because of the costs involved. I pray that the people of Mbeere North who elected Hon. Ruku re-elect him next time. With those remarks, I support the Motion for the good of this nation."
