    "content": "cardinal issue that must be addressed in this country, if you want to provide a sustainable future for our children. Every year, hundreds and thousands of young people fall by the wayside in our education system. Two years ago, I remember we were saying that 600,000 students were doing the KCPE, and they were going to join Form One; before that, in 2005, 1.5 million students joined Class One. From the 1.5 million students who joined Class One, only 600,000 students made it to Class Eight. Of the 600,000 students who made it to class eight, only 400,000 students were able to get places to go to Form One. That is a tragedy in itself as we look at it; where do these children go to? Even as we abolish the fees, we must address radically the issue of transition, and I dare say, as put in the Jubilee Manifesto, we must ask the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology what their plans are to ensure that we have a 100 per cent transition rate from Class One to Form Four. The biggest threat to our security is actually those young people who are left on the wayside, without hope, disillusioned, without jobs, without a means to earn a living and without enough know-how to enable them come up with something to do."
