    "content": "learn due to being marginalised. Therefore, I urge the Ministry of Education, in collaboration with all relevant stakeholders, to undertake a comprehensive overhaul and implement the new system to provide free basic education for all. As I conclude, I reiterate that this Motion is about ensuring the Government fulfils its constitutional duty to provide free and compulsory education to every child in Kenya. Picture a young student in an informal settlement or in a rural village whose dream of education is currently threatened by financial barriers. The reform of consolidating bursary schemes and directly funding schools will lift that burden and ensure that no child is left behind simply because of lack of resources. I am aware that the Hon. Speaker engaged the Ministry of Education through the Clerk of the National Assembly to provide us with information that will birth a legislative proposal to address this issue. Equally, the constitutional court sitting in Nakuru directed that there is need to consolidate bursaries. This reform will lay the foundation for an equitable education system, one that not only opens doors for young minds but also builds a future where education empowers entire generations. As we secure their access to learning, we are also securing Kenya's social and economic development, creating a nation where every child can fulfil their potential. I have to end by saying that 70 per cent of students in Kenya go to public schools. If we do this, we will touch the heart of every Kenyan household. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move and request the Member for Uriri Constituency, Hon. Mark Nyamita, to second this Motion."
