    "content": "American students will have, that Laikipia child will shine. Since, he knows that is his only route out of adversity. Why do we build this curriculum, which I was asking my brother the Senator for Kitui and we are parents? My child is in Grade Six. Which exam will take him to Alliance High School? I have no idea. In the past, it used to be the Grade 8 Exam, which will take you to Alliance High School, Maseno school, Jamhuri High School and Shimo La Tewa High School. I do not know how my son will end up at Alliance High School or whether he will end up at Jamhuri High School or at Pandpieri Primary School in Kisumu. These things are not clear. We are tinkering and playing around with the curriculum. Therefore, messing up the future of our children and also denying them competitiveness in the global scale. I do not know whether our CBC and our graduates will find it easy to get into foreign universities and institutions. What some countries have done is you take International Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE), the American system and another globally recognized system, just customize it a little, so that your children are at par with other children in the world. We also need pupils and these pupils, even though you will provide teachers, classrooms and books, they need to have food in the stomach. Therefore, we must also have a national feeding programme for certain areas of this country where food is a rumour unlike places like Nairobi where food is plenty. Additionally, we also need a culture. A culture that values hard work. The overnight riches, arrogance, transition and the conversion of souls to Pauls in our political system is disheartening many people."
