    "content": "Thank you very much Hon. Speaker. I have limited time. In the Report, I have seen what the Committee calls value carriers. One of them is our educational institutions. One of our greatest weaknesses as a country is our education policy. We have established secondary schools, primary schools and universities. In the secondary school section, the policy is that 85 per cent of students should come from local areas and 15 per cent from outside. This applies to the universities as well. We have students who have been in Nyeri Primary School, have gone to Nyeri Secondary School, went to Dedan Kimathi University and have now come back to teach in Nyeri Secondary School. Hon. Speaker, such a person cannot understand what a national value is. The most important thing we need to do as a country is to change so that students from Kericho County can go to Nyeri County, those from Nyeri County go to Kisumu County and those from Kisumu County can go to Murang’a County. That is the only way people can understand other Kenyans. Otherwise, the way our education is structured, it is like saying this is where I come from. You believe that you are superior because you do not even think there are other people in other areas. I propose that our educational policy should encourage students to go across the counties. With those remarks, I support."
