    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Recently, my party leader, Raila Odinga, said that Members of Parliament should perform their roles of legislation, oversight and representation. Most of these funds should be put in areas that serve the people. Hon. Raphael Wanjala also said that education is an equaliser. Education has helped most Members of Parliament to be in this House, whether they are from a poor or rich family, and we are all earning the same money. Giving free secondary education will enable many children to get out there and fend for themselves. They will not get into drugs, have teenage pregnancies, or become suicidal because of depression from not being able to go to school. Hon. Beatrice Elachi mentioned that some children sometimes do not attend school because they cannot afford uniforms. She also suggested that most public schools should explore ways to provide uniforms. Hon. Nabii Nabwera mentioned that we need to talk about making education free from Early Childhood Development (ECD) to secondary school. We also need to raise the money. Some Members, like Hon. Gideon Kimaiyo, opposed the Motion. He agreed that while it is a noble idea to amalgamate bursaries, he was concerned about the office that will distribute them. We should not worry. Questions often arise about what the Ministry or the Executive is"
