    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to congratulate Hon. Mary Wamaua because this Bill has come at the right time. So many Bills are seeking to amend the Education Act and the TSC. However, since this one has come earlier, I will make my comments as follows: I have seen the draft and am satisfied that the Bill generally addresses the basic requirements for enacting a Bill. I have also seen the objectives of the Bill and clearly, the Mover has identified them, which are crucial for the Board’s execution. I have looked at the selection criteria and the functions of the Board. I have equally seen the financial implications, because the Board will have sittings and they will require sitting allowances. The Bill clearly stipulates the roles and responsibilities of the Cabinet Secretary for Education. The most important question is, does this make sense in light of the objectives? This Bill is going to improve the management of education. There are a lot of uncoordinated activities between the TSC, the ministry and other stakeholders. This Board will ensure adequate coordination among education stakeholders generally. We have been looking for an entity to fast-track and facilitate better implementation of government policies at the grassroots level.
