    "content": "communities they serve to pool resources together and ensure that they progress to have better institutions. Even us, as Members of Parliament, we should be challenged by the poverty in our respective constituencies and encourage our communities to not just wait for the Government to do things for them but also pool resources together to improve our institutions of learning. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have been in this House for only three months but I am already worried about the level at which we are putting the Government to task despite the fact that we are the same people who budget for the meagre resources that this country has. Can we all, as leaders, rise to the occasion and take the challenge, knowing that we also have to challenge our communities to pool resources together to ensure that we put up some of the required facilities? Of course, challenges are there. I have asked some of my constituents to ensure that we put up boarding facilities but some of them told me: “No, we cannot have boarding facilities here because once we do so; they will attract students from all over the country.” As hon. Ogalo said, once such facilities are put up, they will attract students from all over the country, and the facility will no longer belong to that particular community. Can we show them that, that is now the trend? By attracting students from other communities, such facilities promote cultural interaction among the communities of this country. What emerges from such cross- cultural interaction is a better Kenyan, who understands members of all other ethnic communities of this country. With those remarks, I beg to support the Motion and thank hon. Dukicha for bringing it to the House."
