    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Motion. I am happy that hon. Gatobu is thinking of education. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me thank you because the other day I saw you go to the aid of the basically disenfranchised in society. I was very touched when I saw a lady cry on your shoulders. Those people have nowhere to go. They cannot pay fees for their children. The country basically owes a duty to those people. I am of the opinion that this country can afford to help such people. The only problem is that our priorities, as a country, are misplaced. What makes me happy is when I see a young Member of Parliament like hon. Gatobu try to create a national debate. I feel good because we cannot just sit back and watch. I believe that we are talking about this Motion 50 years after Independence because of 50 years of bad governance. Our people cannot afford to pay school fees for their children because they are poor. If you give this Motion to 4-5 per cent of Kenyans in Nairobi to read, they will think that you are out of your mind. These people own the largest share of Kenya’s wealth. Something ought to happen. I want to encourage this House that the answer to this, even after we establish the database and we are talking about the Constituencies Development Fund, we must find a solution."
