"content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. It is a pity I only have three minutes. Let me say in those three minutes that we are managing an economy of inequalities. It is the education sector where the serious contradictions in the management of our public affairs are beginning to show. As of now, I sympathise with Prof. Kaimenyi. What is it that we need to equalise in the education sector? It is teaching, laboratories and books. Instead, the inequalities and priorities are given to food, compounds, environment and you will not attain the equality that we signed in the Constitution that we must attain. The little metaphysics that I read tells me that when the sun rises in the morning, geniuses and fools are born from Mandera all the way to Busia. We have a duty to make sure that the best of them become real human capital assets for the Republic. So, this question of national schools inherited from the days of the m zungu administration, some equality and rationality has to be brought into it. Let us get standard food in all our schools and a cost can be given. Whether you are in a small primary school in Kapsabet or a national school, what you eat should be the same. If the parents do not like it, they can form their own schools and stop bothering the Cabinet Secretary for education for the purposes of keeping the fees high. Decision-making in our economy is consumption-driven. The general attitude is that we are in it to make money and not to render relevant service. So, radical changes need to be taken in the education sector. “Professor, you are in charge. Find out what you must equalise.”"
