    "content": "will make sure that his or her own children are also educated. That means that if children are educated, then they will not need to be educated as adults. The issue of educating adults is to ensure that the current generation of adults is educated to the extent that, in future, the only adults who should be looking for education are those who want to get second or third degrees and that will not be a matter for the state, but the individual. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to support Sen. Karaba in calling for a review of the policy or establishment of the policy and to say that this is something that should be done at the county level. This is not a function that should be addressed at the national government level. If you leave it to the national Government, then it will not addressed as holistically as it should be because the need for adult education in one county is not necessarily the same as the need for the same in another county. In some counties, you will need to give more emphasis because they have that challenge. In some counties, you will simply dismiss it because it is not there or it is in a very small measure. I want to propose that the national Government using our constitutional mandate should devolve that function under agreement between the Ministry of Education and the county governments. Let them devolve that function and let them also devolve funds for adult education to the county governments. The county governments can address the issue because they know best how the spread of illiteracy is in their own constituencies. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
