    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for granting me this chance to make a contribution to the Motion. Let me start by saying that Hon. Passaris had an idea but it cannot work at the moment. I wish to oppose it seriously because of the following reasons. Being a Member of Parliament from a single constituency, we still have a lot of challenges right from even the Ministry of Education itself. The distribution of the infrastructure funds in this country is purely unfair. Sometimes, some constituencies get funding for infrastructure from the Ministry but as a single constituency, you do not get it. Therefore, if I sit in this Parliament and support the consolidation of funds to the State Department for Basic Education, it will be purely unfair to the poor children in this country. From my experience serving a second term as a Member of Parliament for Njoro Constituency, I want to state that the Ministry of Education cannot afford to do what Members of Parliament in single constituencies do. We ensure that we know every poor child in every village. If accessing information on many of the projects from the Ministry is hard now, how can they honestly ensure that distribution to children is fair if the money was to be consolidated? It will be very hard. First, the Ministry has no capacity to identify those poor children. The Ministry will get what we call the burden of proof for the poor children in the villages. Therefore, I stand to say The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
