    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I join my colleagues in supporting this Bill. I am sure this Bill will reform the education sector in areas that really matter. Much of what I had to say has already been expounded by my colleagues, especially Hon. Cecily Mbarire. The inclusion of Members of Parliament in the Sub-County Education Board is a crucial matter in terms of our responsibility of representation. We represent the people who elected us in all facets of life including education. Increasingly, some of us are beginning to feel that MPs are now an endangered species. We are being removed from the CDF Committees and education boards. Soon we might be endangered. Therefore, let me congratulate the Committee for a noble job in terms of bringing us to the Sub-County Education Board. However, I oppose the fact that we will be there without a vote. It seems we will be in those boards as inferior members. We must be there and exercise full rights in representing our people in those boards."
