    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance. I want to say from the word ‘go’ that ranking is the universal differentiator. If you want to differentiate something you have to arrange it from the best to the worst, you rank it with other similar items. I highly support this Motion by hon. Chris Wamalwa. This is the right way to go. Opposing this Motion is like saying that being the last one is good. If you oppose this Motion, you must have an alternative. What is the alternative of ranking? If we do not rank our schools, what alternative do we have? The reason as to why many children would like to go to Alliance High School or Mang’u High School is that those schools have been topping the ranking list all along. The motivation of students when they go to school is to learn, pass exams and eventually go to university. When children go to Mang’u High School or Alliance High School and proceed to university, we educate Kenya. As a country, we could have lost in other aspects but in education, we have not lost. If you go outside this country, you will find out that Kenya has a very high population of educated people and that is very good. Doing away with ranking kills the morale of students. There is a deliberate move in this country to try and equalise everybody. You are either performing or not.
