    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. I also rise to support the petition presented to the House by hon. Wanyonyi. I would also like to request the Committee on Education, Research and Technology to look beyond the City of Nairobi because there are various schools that have been sponsored by churches, which have similar problems. I have one such institution in my constituency, where a polytechnic was put up and equipped but later on, a church claimed ownership of the institution. They chased away the students who were learning in the institution. The equipment was taken away by members of the church. The Government’s intention in giving institutions to churches, as sponsors, was good. However, along the way, some people become either selfish or some people within the management of churches and other sponsoring organisations decided to take over such institutions for their own selfish needs. In that case, I would request the Committee to look beyond Nairobi and cover other constituencies because the problem is widespread. With those remarks, I beg to support the petition."
