    "content": "The reason why I am saying so is because we take very few students to high school because we do not have boarding facilities in Turkana County. I am telling the Ministry of Education, if they want Turkana County to realise the importance or the benefits of free education, they must make us have many boarding primary schools. We also want to appreciate the Cabinet Secretary for education on selection this year. They have done very well. Some of us from Turkana County have never taken more than two or three students to national schools but this year we have taken many students to national schools. We want that to continue because that is how even the poor man who is learning under a tree can go to a national school. I want to appeal to the Ministry of Education to assist because I know some students who were called to national school but they have not reported because of school fees and other issues. When those chances are there, they should not give to any other county. They should bring them back to us through the Director of Education so that we look for other students to fill the vacancies. Finally, we also appreciate the issue of doing away with ranking because it brought a lot of confusion, competition, stealing of exams and so on. We want the status quo to remain. You cannot rank Lodwar High School with Alliance High School. Though Lodwar High School is a national school, the conditions and environment are not the same. So that issue has now motivated our students. Thank you."
