    "content": "education. However, they even get jobs easily than those who have been trained in Kenya which is most unfortunate. It is because they have very strong expression of language which gives them an upper hand because an employer will think that they know better than others. These are things that we need to look at in this nation. Let us not trivialize our knowledge because we have it but let us now support it with finances and whatever we have. Again, with university education, people should not just think that you are good because you are a graduate of a certain university in Kenya or London. It does not matter how many degrees you have if you cannot do anything to prove that you have something. Use the knowledge that you have acquired to assist your people and not just brag about your three or four degrees. They do not matter. What matters is what you can do with the little knowledge that you have and how to prove it. These days you are not supposed to be confined in the university to learn whatever you want to do because there are so many opportunities unlike during our time. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, sometimes when my children find me studying in my library, they ask me if I need all the books and I tell them that I do. They then tell me that my head will go haywire because there are machines which can tell me all the things that I want. You then wonder what kind of education that is. You ask somebody to calculate figures mentally and they start looking for a machine. By the time they get the machine, you will have already gotten the answer. There is something wrong. If we follow the Western or Eastern pattern we will go wrong. The Speaker does not need to go anywhere to learn legal matters unless he wants to be an international lawyer. We understand our problems and my friend, who is a professor in law definitely understands what we want. The only thing that he does not have is equipment and facilities. We can do anything but we are just told like it is magic. Somebody is a doctor and he becomes a magician all of a sudden. It is because we do not have facilities to improve on our education. Such a Bill would not have come if we were critical enough to discuss our weakness and then forge ahead. I had promised not to take a lot of time and I beg to support my dear daughter."
