"content": "I am aware of what I am talking about. I know you are my senior in the profession of engineering but kindly let me continue with my debate. Hon. Speaker, these issues are not unique to these constituencies I have talked about. I am sure in every constituency in Kenya we have cases of students who are unable to afford school fees in one way or another. It would be important that as a House we assist on this matter. Going forward, we have the emotive issue of land. This country must find answers to the land question in Kenya. The other day I was reading of a gentleman who is claiming Kshs 40 billion from a military installation claiming that the land is his. Honestly, I asked myself: “What can one possibly do in this world to be able to earn Kshs 40 billion? Why would the interest of an individual supercede the interest of a whole country? This is because, for you to be worth Kshs40 billion, you need to be earning Kshs33 million shillings a month for 100 years. What could one possibly have done so as to earn that kind of money? Lastly, as the HBC gets to work we have a very serious situation of our children in North Eastern Province. They cannot be taught because of the problems the teachers are facing. The House must, with speed, pronounce itself on this matter. The teachers have expressed fears of their lives but we also know that our children need to be taught. With those remarks, I support.
