    "content": "One Senator said that it does not matter where the college is. This matters a lot because accessing an institution has some cost implications to parents. Right now, we do not have proper schools. One has to always travel and the transport component is also part of the costs required to be met by parents so that they can get their children to school. We need to have these facilities. The reason why we have not had research being conducted on dry area farming and in livestock production is because most of these universities are concentrated in other parts of this country where those ways of life are not relevant. So, if we had universities in northern Kenya, we would not only be dealing with rain-fed agriculture but livestock production and dry-area farming. We also have things like minerals. We would be doing research along those lines. So, it is necessary to have these facilities there, first, for us to have relevant research so their output can be applied to the improvement of livelihoods of people there. Having all these facilities spread throughout the country will give purpose to what we are driving here, which is devolution. We will have Government facilities everywhere and access to many other facilities which will bring about equal or fair development throughout the country. Thank you."
