    "content": "When you look at the Jubilee side, the Jubilee Manifesto made the same promise. President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto promised that there would be free day secondary education by 2015. That is what brings us here today. We are in 2015 and the Ministry of Education, which is charged with implementing this issue, has a task in its hand and I think it is failing the children of Kenya. Children can only be children once. They never get a second chance to go to school. If we do not guarantee them their rights, it is not a favour we are doing them. If we do not deliver on their rights and put policy and decisions in place, we are betraying these children, robbing them and stealing from a future generation. It will come back to haunt us because the security, economic, social and health implications for young people who do not go to school are too immense. This lack of education and a guaranteed education for our children will hurt this country and stop us from reaching Vision 2030. It will make Kenya more insecure, less healthy and a country with a lot of social problems, including early pregnancies, early motherhood and many other negative things. However, the picture does not always have to be this negative."
