    "content": "That is my DC, I think she can read. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am saying that when we debate Motions of this nature, we need to pay attention to one another. My sentiments are like those of hon. Bowen and with a very clear explanation. People are not equal in this country even though we want to assume that they are. Only the day before yesterday I was watching on TV a school in Galole where candidates are sitting under a tree. That primary school in their mark this year, in the just reported class eight exams, the highest person got 265 marks. When I became a Member of Parliament in the year 2002, 80 per cent of classrooms in my constituency were all mud houses and those kids were competing with children from Alliance High School, Nairobi and wherever. Even in Nairobi, a child who goes to a primary school in Mukuru cannot compete with a kid going to a primary school in Westlands. There has been skewed allocation of resources over so many decades that we cannot turn our eye from it. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I know that my colleague and desk mate, hon. Wamalwa, means well. The reason why this thing is for debate is so that we do not look like we are doing things that do not make sense to our people. I went to look for a chance for my daughter at the Kenya High School. I discovered that there are over 200 teachers in Kenya High School. The secondary school which I have built in my village has only three TSC teachers and they are supposed to compete.
