    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to allay the fears of those Members who feel that this is not the right time. The very reasons they are providing are the very reasons we should move in that direction. When you start saying that we do not have the facilities and funds, the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) is a concept which other countries are coming to examine and borrow from. That is why we should say: If, already, we have universal primary education, what will stop us from upgrading the secondary schools to absorb that intake? What will stop us from doing so? The excuse that we do not have enough money is explained by the Auditor-General every year; we are losing up to Kshs200 billion a year. If we were able to manage that, we can put that money into good use and provide the education that we need to give our children. So, the excuse of funds is not really a very valid one. The excuse of fear of moving to a new thing, maybe, is what may concern some. Change is always difficult, but we are implementing the new Constitution. It has got its challenges, but I am sure we will get through them. Equally, in our education, I am sure we can manage those challenges which may be there."
