    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to take this opportunity to support this Motion. I believe that education is the backbone of every aspect of life. For everything to succeed, be it development or any other, there must be quality education. Having universities or qualified institutions in every county will make students who have been marginalized to feel they are part of Kenya. It will also help parents in various counties to appreciate various aspects of education. For example, when I completed my high school education, I applied for a course in Business Administration and Commerce (B-Com). When my father asked me what I had applied for, I told him that this was a B-Com course. He told me to explain to him what this was all about. The knowledge I got from my business class made me know that commerce meant the ability to trade. I, therefore, explained to him in our mother tongue and he told me that he could also do it. That meant that the only course they appreciated was teaching, medicine and training to become a soldier. Those are the only things that they knew. So, having various universities or institutional organizations will help parents to know the various courses offered. Also, having universities in various counties will reduce travelling costs encountered by students. This will also help their accommodation costs. When one is far from his county, he is supposed to pay for accommodation by hiring a house or a hostel. So, having various universities in counties will reduce that cost. This will also help the learning of the student. By this, I mean that if you have a university in a place like Wajir County, this will help improve the quality of education for those who are in secondary schools. The students in secondary schools will feel encouraged if they see university students around them. This will help them imitate what the university students are doing. This will improve the quality of education at the county 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."
