    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me say something about education in this country. Apart from the fact that our founding fathers, when they founded this nation, declared war on three things; ignorance, poverty and disease, in that order and making them equally important as enemies of the people of Kenya, education has always been a prime concern for Kenyans even in colonial times. That is why nationalists like Jomo Kenyatta and Mbiyu Koinange started Thogoto Teacher Training College here in Kiambu to find alternative teacher-training institutions for the people of Kenya who did not have access to teacher training. Therefore, this was to become an institution to train teachers of their own people and to prepare them for a competitive system that the colonial system had established, which was rapidly being reserved to only a select elite that could have access to schools established by colonial regime."
