    "content": "make sure that all those children in primary school, particularly in those counties where they still need affirmative action, are catered for? Today, Madam Speaker, if you go to Narok South, you will be shocked. There are places where children are still learning in mud-thatched houses. We need to first of all, remove those classrooms, create a good environment and build those schools and employ more teachers. After that, we send the learners there, allocate more money to the Ministry of Education or to county governments and ensure if it is Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) or primary school, it is 100 percent free. This issue of bursaries continues to create or widen the gap between the rich and the poor; those who have versus those who do not; those who are well-connected versus those just ordinary Kenyans who it is only them and their God. Madam Temporary Speaker, I completely oppose this Motion. I hope that Sen. Thang’wa can be able to advance his third request, whereby he engages the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) and other research institutes to see how much it costs to educate one child. That is a discussion I am willing to engage in. If, for example, it costs Kshs20,000, how do we ensure that if we have four million children that need to be educated, we allocate enough money for them to be educated in each and every financial year? I believe that is a conversation that will help this country. I oppose."
