    "content": "Yesterday, people were consistently for the people. Today, they are consistently for the ruling classes. We must build a culture where our children believe that it is only hard work that will take them somewhere, not a ministerial appointment or liaison with those in Government. That is a culture that we are lacking. Subsequently, someone can decide to go and procure a degree certificate in a university that does not exist. You can go to court and then they compromise the court and then they are in office. What then motivates a child to go and get a university degree genuinely, if he is seeing the rich and powerful have acquired degrees of dubious nature? The last means of implementation is finances and this is what this Motion is calling for. I support this Motion and I hope that we can have a legislation. In this country, we know what should be done, but we are just too lazy to do it. Sometimes we are lazy to do it because we want to get rents from some of these things. We were told a story about ghost schools when Mwai Kibaki started the free primary education. If you read that report on the scandal of ghost schools when Mwai Kibaki started free primary education, you will be alarmed on how billions of shillings were siphoned to private accounts. People just established virtual schools and were sending money to them. We hope that those bad things will not happen.
