    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, if a student spends Kshs500 a day and there are 10,000 such students, simple arithmetic says that Kshs5 million is spent in that town every day. So, how can Sen. Kagwe, a man I respect, pretend that he does he not know these things? How can Sen. Karaba, who is a former principal, pretend that he does not know these things? He was also a chair of the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology in the Lower House. When we are discharging in this Senate, we must desist from defending archaic tribal interests. I do not think that was the intention of the creation of the Senate. The Senate is supposed to ensure fairness and address issues of social injustice. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I must, once again, end by pleading with the Chair. The Chair was very tolerant yesterday, through the Deputy Speaker. You accommodated our points of orders. We look forward to a favourable ruling, so that this matter should not die until we give life to the fairness that we would like to see in the education system in this country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with those remarks, I beg to move and thank all hon. Senators and the entire House."
