    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The levels of poverty in this country are on the rise because of skewed education opportunities. I support this Bill because it is going to provide an equal opportunity for everyone to access education and participate in productivity in this country. We know that education is a very important equalizing tool, especially as is promoted by our Constitution, which promises Kenyans equitable distribution of resources. Therefore, we should be anxious to create an enlightened society; a society where everyone cares for each other and all have equal opportunities to be productive and to promote what we have promised Kenyans through the devolution process. The greatest frustration therefore, is when our students go through the education process, but are not evaluated. Therefore, I support this Bill to ensure that all people who go through an education process enjoy the benefit of evaluation, then we can set standards. This is very important. Then we will also remove the frustration of people never knowing really, what kind of human resource we have. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me say just one thing about the Executive decision that was made by the Cabinet Secretary (CS) of Education. They have shelved the payment of examination fees. This is good, but it is also important for us as Parliament to rise to the occasion and anchor this in the legislative process, and include other facilities that may be packaged together with this law."
