    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT aware that Article 43(1)(f) of the Constitution of Kenya states that every person has a right to education; recognizing that Vision 2030 underscores the critical role of education in Kenya’s socio-economic development; appreciating that, pursuant to Chapter 223 of the Laws of Kenya, the Government established the Board of Adult Education to coordinate adult education; concerned, however, that implementation of adult education programmes is hampered by absence of appropriate policies, including policies on recruitment, training, deployment, discipline and termination of services; the Senate calls upon the national Government to take immediate measures to develop clear policy guidelines for adult education staff recruitment, training, deployment and discipline in order to promote adult education. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we have sat here many times to discuss Motions. We have had occasions to travel out to compare Kenya with other successful nations in the world. We have spent a lot of money travelling out so that we help Kenya to be ahead of other nations, especially in the region. When I talk about the region, I am referring to Africa. What is important in any country, Kenya being one of them, is the way it handles its people and its education. There are many benefits of somebody being educated. I have just contributed to a Motion that was moved by Sen. (Prof.) Lesan. In it, we discussed a lot on how we can take care of our old people. We said how if Kenyans are not educated, this can create problems. These are problems various like financing, interpreting policies and poor health. These are issues that we must address ourselves to squarely so that people in Kenya can understand what this all means. As far as I am concerned, it is only education that can lead us to the light. People who did not have enough education end up in various problems that are untold. 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."
