    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for this opportunity. I rise to support the amendments by Sen. Mohamud. Education is a guaranteed right. Part of guaranteeing that right to education is to ensure accessibility and affordability of quality education to all Kenyans. Part of marginalization in this country was largely a consequence of the alienation when it came to matters of education. Therefore, the Constitution came to redress part of the transgressions of their past policies and framework to ensure that every Kenyan is given equal access to affordable quality education. There is no better way to guarantee a complete development of any young person than to ensure that you are able to offer that person a chance of, not only free primary education or secondary education, but equally for university education. Lately, we live in a world that an undergraduate degree is becoming common. Sooner or later, Masters degree will be a requirement of employment. I have a number of classmates who had the benefit to proceed with their education uninterrupted who are now defending their PhDs or are PhD holders. The most critical component in the transformation that we are looking for in our counties, when counties have institutions of higher learning is that they will be part of the agents of transformation. I visited a lot of countries in my professional life at the KNCHR and even right now as a Senator and, particularly countries in the west have interested me in terms of collaborative actions that universities or faculties of universities or departments have. You will find that there is a school of Government or a certain university that partner with a county or the government to research and improve on part of the cutting edge of flagship projects or governance model and values.
