    "content": "Thank you Madam Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion as amended. All of us are aware that in the early 1960s and 1970s if a child from a poor family was admitted to a national school people would rally around to support the child. However, this social fabric has since died out. More often than not students from poor families upon admission to national schools usually are forced to go to day schools. This reduces their chances of doing well in the university. We are aware that birth is an accident of time and place. These children did not choose to be born in those poor conditions. We have bursary kitties. As we talk of the public data base it is important that we have serious co-ordination so that people do not benefit twice. The Constitution is very clear under Article 53(1)(b). It guarantees every child the right to free and compulsory education. However, serious modalities need to be put in place if we have to centralize this kitty at the county level. In most cases those who stand to benefit are not those who deserve the most. If we have to derive maximum benefit out of this we need to ensure that students joining Form One are seen through to Form Four. With those few remarks I support the Motion."
