    "content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, if you look at Page 2641 of the Bill, you will find Clause 48(2)(b) there which reads: “ No private school shall be registered if- (b) The Cabinet Secretary is satisfied that the proprietor is not a suitable person to be a proprietor of any school.” We would like to delete that partly because we want to allow investors to be able to decide who it is that wants to invest in a school. Therefore, my proposal is to get that sub-clause deleted in order to facilitate further investment in education so that it is not the Cabinet Secretary who is deciding who is a suitable proprietor. It is like the Cabinet Secretary will be vetting people who want to invest. The other conditions are suitable enough. Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I would also like you, now that I am on my feet, to allow me to delete Clause 48(2)(c) which reads: “The manager of the school is not a trained teacher.” We have had distinguished Kenyans operating schools and being managers of schools but they were not teachers. We want to assume that the investor who is establishing a school will be able to determine who is a manager and they really not be teachers. I am reminded of hon. Matiba and many other Kenyans who have been able to run schools although they are not teachers as such. So, I would like to delete Clause 48(2)(c) and also delete the words in 48(2)(b) that I have explained."
