    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, in Kenya Prof. Obel and Dr. Davy Koech came up with medicine to cure HIV/AIDS through research. I asked Prof. Obel at one time: “If really this can treat HIV/AIDS why do you not share the formula and everything else with your colleagues, so that they can now agree with you, in a scientific way, that this medicine can actually treat?” But he said that what he had found was so important that he even sleeps with it. He did not want anybody to know or steal it. It is all out of research. Madam Temporary Speaker, we have been talking about the various types of medicines. At one time I thought that research can only be done at the national level, whereas actually it is very important that it is also done at the county level. This is because from county to county situations and circumstances differ. The problem being faced in one county, including what grows there differs from another county. So, as we try to find solutions to these problems, each county will be enabled to know the importance of research. They should research on their own problems and find solutions to those problems. Madam Temporary Speaker, we have been talking about teaching methods. The teaching methods that are used in Early Childhood Development (ECD) education, for example, in America must be different from the ones in the United Kingdom (UK) or China. The teaching methods that you may use on a Maasai may be different from those used on a Luhya. You must find ways of transferring this knowledge, taking into account the environment. You cannot just do that by having teaching methods imposed on you from outside. They must be teaching methods that are grown from within. Madam Temporary Speaker, even if you take into account our own Constitution, for example, one of the outcries was that the old Constitution was imposed on us from outside, and so, we must have an autochthonous Constitution which is grown from within. This is what we are talking about here."
