    "content": "Thank you Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I thank the Mover of this Motion for one thing. Unlike what people know, to get professors and consultants, one needs to go through early childhood education, primary and secondary education. There was a lapse over the years when we could not produce very credible and internationally sound professors. However, if you trace back, you will see that, that was the period that we did not have the Free Primary Education Programme (FPE). If you look at the Prof. “Odhiambos” of this world and the Prof. “Memes” and other big professors, they went to school when there was FPE. One could also go to Form V and Form VI and even get some allowances and so forth. That way, you are able to tap the gene power of the Kenyan people. To tap the gene power of the Kenyan people, you need basic infrastructure. Since you cannot identify which child is gifted in a particular area, the only way to do it is to provide free primary and secondary education. With regard to the cost, the Ministry should move in and take care of expenses like transport. Schools are buying very expensive buses which are not utilized all the time. We should have a system where buses are held by the Ministry and released when schools have activities, instead of having big fleets holding Kshs2 billion and so forth. I thank the Mover of this Motion and think that the Ministry is doing very well. I fully support the improvement of the budget."
