    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, I rise to second debate on this Vote, which the Minister for Science and Technology, who is also the Acting Minister for Education, has just moved. In doing so, I would like to, first, commend my colleague and his team in the Ministry of Education for the good work they are doing for this country. I would want to encourage them to do more. I am sure that God will bless them. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, even though the Ministry of Education currently gets the biggest chunk of allocation in our national Budget, we would want, if possible, to see even more resources being allocated to the Ministry because we can see what the Ministry is doing. With the introduction of the Free Primary Education, which is funded by the Government, any children who were hitherto unable to access primary education have joined school. The main problem in this country is poverty. Most of the parents are unable to meet the cost of education. With the introduction of this programme, we have seen more needy and bright students access education. Therefore, I would like to credit the Ministry or the Kibaki Administration for moving in this direction to ensure that Kenyan children from weak economic backgrounds access education."
