    "content": "establishment of adult education through FM radios where people can listen and follow what is being taught. While at home, you will meet children who got grades Ds and Es and yet their parents will tell you that their sons and daughters are very educated and that they have done very well in school. These parents do not understand the difference between grade “A”, “B”, “C”, “D” or “E”. This is a fact. I talked on Friday evening in Garissa at a function and said that there is need for us to work hard, as a country, so that every Kenyan who was unfortunate not to go to school can know how to read and write something. Under devolution, we now have counties. I believe that counties will start producing their own papers to inform people what is happening and what is expected of them. If they cannot read, that will be a waste of public resources. When Sen. Halima spoke, she said that maybe in Central Province, the illiteracy level is at 8 per cent while in North Eastern, it is at 60 per cent. I can tell you that in North Eastern Province and other provinces, this rate is more than 90 per cent. You will not find anybody older than me who can read a letter. Nobody should ask me how old I am. With those remarks, I beg to move and to encourage my brother, Sen. Karaba to take note of what we have said."
