Dorothy Muthoni","speaker":null,"content":" Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I stand in support of this important Motion. I want to thank Hon. Njeri Maina for bringing this important topic to the Floor of the House. Children are like wet cement; whatever you teach or show them sticks on them. I say this even in view of the new Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), where children are more oriented to doing things for themselves as opposed to yester years where the teacher was a know it all. Comprehensive health education should be a core subject in our schools. As I sit here, the school curriculum is tailored towards having this particular topic in all the classes and grades across the schools because hygiene and health are in the syllabus."}
