    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me take this opportunity to thank the people of Kenya for voting “yes” to the new Constitution which has enabled almost 20 of us to sit in the Senate and participate in this political arena. Let me also applaud the President for his support for devolution, improvement of the tourism sector, empowering the youth and women, improvement in the health sector, provision of water, electricity and the rest. It is my hope that the country will achieve that. My concern is when he says that he will provide laptops to Class One pupils. In my opinion, that is too ambitious because where I come from in North Eastern Province, access to education is a problem. You will see a school going age children looking after animals because their parents cannot afford to take them to primary schools. The environment is also not conducive for learning. For example, before the campaigns, I visited a school by the name Hudhile Primary School in Wajir. What I saw there was very pathetic. That school goes up to Class Six and it only has one classroom. That classroom is divided into five portions; one portion is reserved for Class Six students, the other portion for Class Five and Four, one part is used as a staffroom and the other portion is used as a store where the maize and beans are kept."
