    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support the Motion. If what the Motion is asking for was to be implemented, then our public schools would be performing much better. I do not think anyone else would be taking his or her child to a private school. It is true that the private schools today are performing much better than public schools. However, sometime back, in the history of this country, the best performing schools were the public schools. Those days, we used to refer to private schools as Harambee schools. They were very bad. They did not have the facilities; they did not have good teachers. All the facilities with good teachers belonged to the Government. However, somewhere along the line, Government resources have been overstretched. The Kenyan population has grown so big that the Government is not capable of handling everything. The private investors have overtaken us because they put up few schools, manage them well, make sure that they have the best facilities and the few students that they have do very well."
