    "content": "As I support this Motion, I would like to start with numbers. The issue of junior secondary schools is a matter of discussion in this House. I have a total of 275 primary schools in my constituency. That tells you that I have over 300 schools in my constituency. I know Members are shocked because some of them have 4 or 10 or 20 primary schools. We have Members who are seated in this House who take care of more than 300 schools, and I am one of them. Out of the 275 primary schools, 100 have been condemned and cannot host junior secondary schools. This discriminates the children of Kitui South because some of them walk through the valleys and hills looking for a junior secondary school. I agree with the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research, Hon. Melly that, truly CBC is not bad. This world is led by people who can communicate and it is training children to be communicators, collaborators, critical thinkers, imaginative, creative, courageous, good citizens and rich in digital literacy. I would like them to have financial literacy because the world is led by people who have all those competencies. I advocate for the CBC. As you are aware, one of the lead communicators is Hon. William Samoei Ruto. That is why he is leading this country. Going back to the matter raised by Hon. Ruku, the Ministry of Education must give us a proper linkage between the Kenyan Basic Education Act of 2013 and all the other amendments that have been done within the education laws. It must properly link them with the CBC. This will give our children an opportunity to know that every junior secondary school they are in is run like any other. A junior secondary school in a primary school in Kitui South Constituency, which has Mutomo and Ikutha sub-counties, will then be run like a junior secondary school in Nairobi City. That is why we have equality in education."
