    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I support this Motion from the outset. When I imagine how my county is and go back to the Speech by the President, I find that the only way we can be effective and efficient as the President had put it is by supporting this Motion. It has been said a lot that our Government normally comes up with the best way of doing things. But out of the budget allocations, 40 per cent goes to waste. However, if we adopt this Motion, we will improve on that line. We will become very efficient and effective in improving our educational institutions. I believe that we, as leaders of our counties and the rest of Kenyans know our areas very well. In fact, I am sorry, but I stand to be guided; I do not know whether the national Government has ever equipped or even built schools in my county. Apart from the centres of excellence which were done a few years ago, I cannot trace the history and say that a particular school was built by the Government. We have always done this through Harambees and Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) until the CDF was founded. With this Motion, I believe that most areas will have schools. Some children are learning under trees while others use churches to learn. We will turn these areas into worship centres and come up with beautiful schools. I also feel that if we go as per this Motion, we will also be distributing wealth. We will also be creating employment in our counties. Currently, if we look at firms that supply school equipment to counties; you will find that we only have two or three companies from Nairobi. However, if counties are allowed to have resources, they can buy equipment for their schools and procurement would be done at the county level. That way, resources will effectively find their way into good use. Those who are not employed, particularly the youth will come up with companies, so that they participate in The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
